Problems with HtmlInputFile & Page Inheritance

I'm converting a c# web application to support page inheritance so that I
can really change the look and feel of my application by only modifying the
..cs that my pages inherit from.

The only recurring problem I'm having is that none of my HtmlInputFile
controls are working after the conversion.

The page inheritance setup is pure vanilla, copied from some examples on the
web. All the fron end stuff is inside a form tag, etc.. But when any of my
pages try to access an HtmlInputFile control, I get the generic, annoying
error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at this line
if (txtFileUp.Post edFile.FileName != null && txtFileUp.Poste dFile.FileName
!= "")

Any idea?

Hi, I have a page with a htmlInputFile that is working fine. However, if I go to another page, and then go back to the page with the htmlInputFile, I get the following error Warning: Page has Expired The page you requested was created using information you submitted in a form. This page is no longer available. As a security precaution, Internet Explorer does not automatically resubmit your information for you.

I have an application that uses FreeTextBox 2.0 (http://www.freetextbox.com). FreeTextBox is a rich text editor that behaves similarly to MS Word. The FreeTextBox control has a button to insert images (just as you would with MS Word) and it works beautifully. The problem is that when you include an image with the rich text editor, the image path is the local path on the client. I have written a method that examines the text for <img> tags,...

Hi, I want to customize the HtmlInputFile. I wanna something like an image button to play the "browse" button hole and hide the textbox. Is that possible? I also have tried to hide an HtmlInputFile in my page and added some javascript code to a button to fire the click() event of the HtmlInputFile. It worked for a moment, but when the submit button is clicked the HtmlInputFile looses its value. This solution was described in the...

Guys, I know this isn't the appropriate place to post this because it's HTML not ASP.Net but I need some guidance. I have a web page with an HTMLInputFile on it. The person enters the stuff, that's all great. They go to the next page and I allow them to click a button to go back a page to change values. When I go back one page, I want the HTMLInputFile to be filled in with the previously loaded value (which I have saved somewhere) but...

Is there any way to retain the value of an HtmlInputFile control through a postback? I do some server side validation on the page when it is submitted and if an error occurs on the page the HtmlInputFile control value is blank after the postback. The EnableViewState for the control is set to true. I can't put the postedFile.filename value in a hidden control and then put it back into the HtmlInputFile control on postback because the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
