How to show Upload Multiple files control on Application Page?

Question

Hi

On my SharePoint 2010 application page I need to present users with my own Upload Multiple Files control. After the user uploads files, I need to get the SPListItemIDs.

If you know how this can be added please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can create a custom SharePoint User Control that can be added to SharePoint pages. Please take a look at

Answer 2

Or you can open modal dialog that already referenced to location where you need upload file. (If it suitable for your task)

I used that way in one of my projects.

Thanks Aviv,

1. Do you have the code snippet to include the modal dialog? 2. Also if I use this, can I get the SPItemIDs of the uploaded files once the files are uploaded?

Thanks a lot.

1.

var href = string.Format("{0}/_layouts/Upload.aspx?MultipleUpload=1&List={1}&RootFolder={2}&Source={3}", web.Url, list.ID.ToString("D"), list.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl + "/" + _folder, HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Page.Request.Url.ToString()));

var addFilesLink = new LiteralControl(string.Format("<a href=\"{0}\" onclick=\"var options = {{url:'{0}', title:'Upload files', width:700, height:430, dialogReturnValueCallback: Function.createDelegate(null, function (result, returnValue) {{if (result == SP.UI.DialogResult.OK) {{if (returnValue == null) {{SP.UI.Notify.addNotification('Files succesfully added');}} else {{location.href = returnValue;}}}}}})}}; SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options); return false; \">Upload files</a>", href));

Controls.Add(addFilesLink);

2. Unfortunately, I think it is not possible. There is not good way, to get files from library with the latest creation time.

Answer 6

Thanks Ahmed

The suggested control is good, however it still lets us select only one file at a time.

I am looking for a user control that allows the user to select multiple files at once, and then upload all of them together and then I need to get their item ids. Just like SharePoint 2010's "Upload Multiple Documents"  feature works. All I need is to get the item IDs of the files uploaded after they are uploaded.

Help is appreciated.
