FileUpload and filename using personal web starter kit

Hi All,

I am trying to get to grips with storing files in a database instead of
on the webservers file system.

I have been playing with Microsoft's Personal Web Starter Kit which
stores images in a DB and I am trying to adapt this to store other
docs, such as .doc, .pdf etc

I get the file to stoe into the DB ok, but when i try to save the
original filename i run into all sorts of problems as I just cant
access it.

This is normally fairly easy to get I suppose as you would normally
trap the click of the "upload" button but this is set in an
ASP:Formview with a Datasource set and a defaultMode set to insert and
is very difficult for a relative newbie like me to understand or trap.

If anyone knows anything about the personal starter kit, or how to get
the filename from a viewview with datasource object, please put me out
of my misery!

Thanks

All I'm interested in is the file name and path, I'm not performing any file transfer. I've put a fileupload control on the page to allow the user to specify the file. Now I want to push/pull the details to/from appsettings so the user doesn't have to browse to the file if it hasn't changed. However I can't set default...

I am having a problem installing the starter kits. I have reinstalled VS 2005, think that might be the problem. I then installed both 'Personal Website" and the "Club Website" starter kits.

Neither the "Personal Website" or the "Club Website" allows you to select the...

After migrating an ASP.NET 1.1 application to 2.0 we were getting "Cannot access a closed file" errors when uploading. I found a number of post on the subject and have since moved from using an Html File Input control to using the new FileUpload control. Previously, I had set the maxRequestLength attribute in the machine.config file to allow 100MB uploads with success. In the v2.0 application I have added an httpRuntime node to the...

If you had a FileUpload control inside of a FormView...how would you use FindControl to access the FileUpload properties? Let me just say that (FileUpload)FormView1.FindControl(FileUpload1).FileName doesn't work. The purpose is to insert a graphic in the InsertItemTemplate section of the form. I'm using the expample that's in the online help for the post back. protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

Hi, i use the FileUpload control but if the uploaded file already exists, i want let the choice between overwriting or not the existing file. Therefore i use a radiobuttonlist with 'yes' and 'no'. I get no error, but if i take 'yes', the new file which overwrites the existing one is empty. I think it's because of the postabck caused by the radiobuttonlist, so the Fileupload control looses the chosen file. I put 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.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
