The newer browsers strictly follow W3C rules and as per that you cannot get path of the file on client's machine. Thus ignore that thing and there is no point wasting time in it

User-867857476 posted

Let me ask the question the other way, how can i send an additional parameters (txtPath.Text) to ajaxUpldPic_UploadComplete method?

Hi Mostafa,

The older browsers used to provide the path. But not possible with new browsers,

You will never get full path of the file due to security reasons.

These is an update for Security Issues.

Greetings Mostafa,

Would you please elaborate which "textbox" you are talking about?

User-867857476 posted

As I understand, we can.t access to controls or variable in ajaxfileupload or asyncfileupload server side methods (inside updatepanel)

Answer 9

User926484134 posted

No thats not the case,

you can access other controls, for instance, refer this code used previously by me....that shall give you an idea...

   protected void AsyncFileUpload1_OnUploadedComplete(object sender, AjaxControlToolkit.AsyncFileUploadEventArgs e)
        {
            string ErrMsg = "";
            string extenstion = "";
            string path = "";
            extenstion = Path.GetExtension(AsyncFileUpload1.FileName);
            if (extenstion == ".xlsx" || extenstion == ".xls")
            {
                try
                {
                    AsyncFileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/Ups/") + AsyncFileUpload1.FileName);
                    path = Server.MapPath("~/Ups/") + AsyncFileUpload1.FileName;
                    LoadExcel(extenstion);
                    File.Delete(path);
                    lblProjectMsg.CssClass = "errLabelno";
                    lblAsyncMsg.Text = "File Uploaded Successfully";
                    lblAsyncMsg.CssClass = "errLabelno";
                    lblProjectMsg.Text = "File Uploaded Successfully";
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    ErrMsg = ex.ToString();
                }
            }
        }

unfortunately it's not work, I even got AsyncFileUpload outside of updatepanel but it's not work

this is my behind code:

public void upldbPic_UploadedComplete(object sender, AjaxControlToolkit.AsyncFileUploadEventArgs e)
    {

        try
        {

            string filePath = Server.MapPath("~/Uploads/booksPic/");
            string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(e.FileName);
            string[] validEx = { ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".gif" };
            string Ext = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(e.FileName);
            if (Array.IndexOf(validEx, Ext.ToLower()) < 0)
            {
                ShowMessage("فقط فایل با پسوندهای (PNG,JPG,GIF) پشتیبانی می شود.");
                return;

            }
            if (Int32.Parse(e.FileSize) > 41000)
            {
                ShowMessage("حد اکثر حجم فایل 40 کیلو بایت است.");

                return;
            }
            

            while (System.IO.File.Exists(filePath + fileName))
                fileName = "1" + fileName;


            upldbPic.SaveAs(filePath + fileName);
            Label17.Text = fileName;


        }

        catch (Exception ex)
        {

            throw ex;

        }

    }

Mostafa,

Please try the following things and post what you find.

1. Refer the link and try to find out if something is missing. http://www.asp.net/ajaxLibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/AsyncFileUpload/AsyncFileUpload.aspx
2. Use IE, press F12 , click on the Scripts tab to see possible script errors and let me know if you find any.
3. alternatively you can use the Moz firebug to analyze the same.

Please tell what you conclude from this and then i shall post a full example code if you arent able to find.

<ajaxToolkit:AsyncFileUpload OnClientUploadError="uploadError" OnClientUploadComplete="uploadComplete" runat="server"
     ID="AsyncFileUpload1" UploaderStyle="Modern"
     UploadingBackColor="#CCFFFF" ThrobberID="myThrobber"
/>

"OnClient%" methods are to be defined on client side as scripts.

UploadedComplete method should be your serverside method.

I would like to quote one more thing.

Your page will not refresh by the postback of this method. so you shall have to refresh your code manually if you need to by injecting javascript on 

ClientUploadComlete.

Please keep me posted you have any further issues.

hi sumeetssm

I don't know where is the problem, Is it possible that use bellow code onclientuploadcomplete or anything like that for duplicate name

while (System.IO.File.Exists(filePath + folderName + "/" + fileName))
       fileName = "1" + fileName;

Answer 13

User926484134 posted

Yes Mostafa,

that is allowed, Refer the following code,

int count=1;
StringBuilder NameBuilder = new StringBuilder();
            string Name = txtFolderName.Text;

            if (Name!=String.Empty)
                //new
                try
                {
                    Name = Name.Replace(" ", "");//this is to remove spaces in name, to save further agony!
                    do
                    {
                        NameBuilder.Clear();
                        NameBuilder.Append(Name);
                        NameBuilder.Append((count++).ToString());
                    }
while (Directory.Exists(Server.MapPath(userDta.getFolder() + "/" +  NameBuilder.ToString())));
                    path = userDta.getFolder() + "/" + NameBuilder.ToString();
                    Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath(path));
                    
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    lblProjectMsg.CssClass = "errLabel";
                    lblProjectMsg.Text = "Some Error Occured, Please try again later";
                }

This is for directory, the same you can do for file.

StringBuilder is the proper way to manipulate a string.

The sole purpose of the above code is to check wether a directory already exists and append count in front of the directory name and create another directory.

Thanks sumeetssm,

But i mean onClientUploadComplete (client-side), not server-side,

i must get uploaded file name to save in DB , but i can't access uploaded file name in server-side and according to the bellow code i can't access uploaded file name in client-side too

while (System.IO.File.Exists(filePath + folderName + "/" + fileName))
                    fileName = "1" + fileName;

User926484134 posted

Greetings Mostafa,

Oh! ....yes,

 i am so sorry i didn,t read it carefully,

 

But you cannot do the coding on onClientUploadComplete,

anyways,

if you will read the above posts once again, you can definately get the uploaded file name as "AsyncFileUpload1.FileName"

I have done the same in a post posted above in an earlier post.

Please let me know. and please mark as answer what helps you.

Thanks.
