C# - Using Forms Input To Upload File To Web Service
Feb 12, 2011
I am using ASP.NET 2.0 and trying to use a simple Form to upload a file to a web service. I have the action attrib set to the url of my web service. However, in firefox, I can't see that it is making any call to that service at all. NOTE: I can throw int the below "Action" value to a browser minus the name of the web method and get a page showing the available web method so I believe the URL for the "Action" attribute is correct.
How can I see what is going on since I don't see any call be made. I am also of the opinion that this might not be the best approach. I am new to the entire web development space so I am trying to find better ways of handling problems.
i want that when a user selects the file to upload then the text area of file upload control should get disabled,only the browse button should be enabled.i want to prevent the user to edit the path of the file upload control..
My testers have discovered that if you type free text into a file upload input then none of the buttons on the page work until that text is removed (so the page cannot be submitted).
I am able to replicate this with the following ASPX code (with no code behind):
(Note that I haven't bound any handlers to the page; despite this, the page is submitted when the submit button is clicked only if no text is entered into the upload text box)
Is there any way to prevent users from typing free text into a file upload control? It seems that this is only possible in IE - Firefox and Chrome natively prevent text from being entered into upload input fields.
I've seen solutions elsewhere which suggest hiding input and replacing it with a label / button combo, but this seems like it might cause more problems and work inconsistently across browsers.
I am having fileupload control having its "multiple" attribute equals to "multiple". I am facing a weird issue in CHROME browser. The isse is that onchange event of file upload control is not firing for more than 12 files selected at once. The event is firing if I have 10 files selected at once. On FF and Safari it is working fine. Here is the code:
I'm trying to upload a file to an ASP 2.0 web service through HTTP 1.1 POST from a client-side application. If my web service function is declared as
<WebMethod()> Public Function UploadFile(ByVal file as Byte(), ByVal fileName as String) as String ...
The test form says the request should take this form:
POST address_of_service HTTP/1.1 Host: <host> Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: length file=string&file=string&fileName=string
How do I get my binary file data into that form? I've tried just converting the file data to a string and putting it in the body (file=<string_data_here>) but I get HTTP 500 errors back, complaining about not being able to convert it to System.Byte. I've got HTTP POST working fine elsewhere in my application with plain string parameters. Also, out of curiosity, why is it showing the file parameter twice?
I upload the file. I m creating web service to read that uploaded file. how can I access that uploaded file path in web service.? How can I read the uploaded file using web service?
I'm looking for a way to have user upload as many images as they want (perhaps via drag and drop) or dynamically adding more upload box.I thought statically fixing (say 6) HTML upload input box is slightly limiting and the user have to click "Browse" button (6 times in this example) and navigating to the folder to pick the file.What is the best practice to achieve this so users find it easy to use? Perhaps with some AJAX magic?I also wouldn't mind having the user click "Upload more" to reveal (say 6 more) HTML upload input box.
I have a quite complex model which has an image as a part of it. While uploding the image i get the following error "The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or a non-white space character among the padding characters"

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?
