FileUpload Control Question

Hi

The FileUpload control doesn't seem to retain the path of the file to
upload, is there a way to change that behaviour?

Thank you,
Samuel

no, its by design for security. after upload its a render, and the
server can not specify the name.

It is a problem when you do server side validation, I wonder if anyone knows
of any workaround?

Or if the Font-Size of a FileUpload control is set to 15pt, then only the size of the...

My environment is ASP.NET 2.0, C# and AJAX. Is there a way to retain the Postedfile in the FileUpload control after Postback? I have this application I've inherited were the User chooses a file then clicks the "save" button, the program proceeds to edit the file on the server and if it detects an error displays an error message. At this point the filename is lost from the FileUpload input field. Sal P.

I have a gridview with 2 columns. One column is a BoundColumn to a part number (string). One column is an ItemTemplate with a FileUpload control. There can be multiple rows (i.e. part numbers) in the gridview. The user attaches a file for each part number / row. The user clicks a button after attaching all the needed files.

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,...
