View 1 RepliesI have an aspx website and I'd like to upload a file to it. The file is being processed later, so I need to support some extra information with it.
This is the website I have to far:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Upload.aspx.cs" Inherits="ABC.Web.Upload" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" runat="server">
<input type="file" id="File1" name="File1" runat="server" />
<input type="text" id="FileId" name="FileId" runat="server" />
<input type="submit" id="Submit1" value="Upload" runat="server" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
This (and the code behind) works very well when using a browser and clicking through the form. But I want to upload the file using the WebClient from C# code. I don't have to use the WebClient. I can also modify the upload.aspx to suit me, there is no requirement that it works from a browser, but this is the only example I've got working.
Looking at fiddler (I just started using it, so I probably have missed it) I could not figure out how I would create such a request from code.
At the moment when using the WebClient I am specifying the address and the local filename. I have a breakpoint in the code behind in my website but the File1 and FileId are not set (as expected).
How do I have to modify the website and how do I have to use the WebClient to get the upload working?
EDIT: Just found out about the Request.Files, that will give me the file, but how about the other fields?
Here is my code to post the file. I use asp fileupload control to get the file stream.
HttpWebRequest requestToSender = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create [URL]
requestToSender.Method = "POST";
requestToSender.ContentType = "multipart/form-data";
requestToSender.KeepAlive = true;
requestToSender.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
requestToSender.ContentLength = BtnUpload.PostedFile.ContentLength;
BinaryReader binaryReader = new BinaryReader(BtnUpload.PostedFile.InputStream);
byte[] binData = binaryReader.ReadBytes(BtnUpload.PostedFile.ContentLength);
Stream requestStream = requestToSender.GetRequestStream();
requestStream.Write(binData, 0, binData.Length);
requestStream.Close();
HttpWebResponse responseFromSender = (HttpWebResponse)requestToSender.GetResponse();
string fromSender = string.Empty;
using (StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(responseFromSender.GetResponseStream()))
{
fromSender = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
}
XMLString.Text = fromSender;
In the page load of CrossPage.aspx i have the following code
NameValueCollection postPageCollection = Request.Form;
foreach (string name in postPageCollection.AllKeys)
{
Response.Write(name + " " + postPageCollection[name]);
}
HttpFileCollection postCollection = Request.Files;
foreach (string name in postCollection.AllKeys)
{
HttpPostedFile aFile = postCollection[name];
aFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(".") + "/" + Path.GetFileName(aFile.FileName));
}
string strxml = "sample";
Response.Clear();
Response.Write(strxml);
I don't get the file in Request.Files. The byte array is created. What was wrong with my HttpWebRequest?
I'm mix up between webclient.OpenReadAsync and webclient.DownloadStringAsync? Can anyone explain clearly for me ? What are the difference between them? In addition, may i know whether webclient.OpenReadAsync got download the file or just open and read the file only without download to other places?

Can i upload a file on a network share folder using file upload control?
I would like to create a share folder on a file server sitting next to the web server. If i upload the file from the network share folder instead of uploading it from the client machine does it make any difference?
Will the file be stored in a temporary location before copying to the final destination? Where will be the file stored in this case of uploading it from share folder?
I am using the async file upload control to upload to a image file. I want the user to upload only jpg files. And for that I am checking the uploadedfile content type in server side, after the upload complets. I wanna check this, before upload starts. There is one javascript method
function startUpload(sender, args){}
but how to access the content type of the file selected by user.
I am downloading a file from remote server by using the following code.
[code]....
If we paste the remote url in browser then it is downloadding the file without any error/warning.
I am using the File Uploader to upload files. It is working fine. But I receive the page can not be displayed when I try to upload a file>4Mb in size.
View 1 RepliesMy question is similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/194579/how-to-detect-when-a-user-has-successfully-finished-downloading-a-file-in-php but I have to do the same using IIS, ASP.NET and C#.
None of the methods in the HttpResponse class provide feedback if the data was sent or not, TransmitFile just does its job (or not) and does not provide any means of knowing the result.I was thinking of using the .Filter property but then again, the filter is based on the HttpResponseStream which does also not provide any feedback.
I am downloading a file from a remote location to my local machine. The paths I am using are saved in web.config and are in following format:
<add key="FileFolder" value="Files/"/>
<add key="LocalFileFolder" value="D:REAL" />
the code I am using to download is:
CreateDirectoryIfDoesNotExist();
WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); [code]...
When i deploy it on the server; and run my program, i get a message saying that download has completed successfully. But the problem is that the file is downloaded on the server machine in the filefolder (LocalFileFolder). I want it to be downloaded on the local machine. What is it that I am doing wrong?
I'm trying to use a java servlet in a 3rd party tool's web interface (CA service desk) to invoke it's download file functionality using a webclient in vb.net. The trouble is the text stream from response is markup and not the acutual text file stream.
It's like the page is redirecting to another page which actually presents the file for downloading. I have no idea what the redirected page URL is.
Is there a way I can process this redirected page in order to get at the download using a system.net.webclient?
Referencing my Earlier Question, regarding downloading a file from a server and handling exceptions properly. I am positive that I had this solved, then in classic programming fashion, returned days later to frustratingly find it broken
Updated code:
private static void GoGetIt(HttpContext context)
{
var directoryInfoOfWhereTheDirectoryFullOfFilesShouldBe = new FileInfo(......); [code]....
This was working fine, and returning the zip, otherwise if the file didn't exist returning 404. Then on the client side I could handle this:
public bool Download()
{
try
{
using (var client = new WebClient()) [code]....
But the problem now is two things.
1) I get System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted in the server side try-catch block. Usually this was just a file not found exception. I have no idea what or why that new exception is throwing?
2) Now that a different exception is throwing on the server side instead of the file not found, it would seem I can't use this set up for the application, because back on client side, any exception is assumed to be filenotfound.]
In my asp .net project, my main page receives URL as a parameter I need to download internally and then process it. I know that I can use WebClient's DownloadFile method however I want to avoid malicious user from giving a url to a huge file, which will unnecessary traffic from my server. In order to avoid this, I'm looking for a solution to set maximum file size that DownloadFile will download.

I am using webclient object to download a file to a windows folder from a sharepoint document library. The credentials I am passing to the webclient object are that of site collection administrator. everything works fine while i test it by uploading a file to the document library. But since the document library is email enabled; when an email is received the file is not transferred to the windows folder. i have put some workflow history events to see which user account is used when the email is received. the user account shown is the network service account. I have given write permissions on the folder to all the users; Everyone, Network service, the site collection administrator user etc. but still i cant figure out what is the problem.
