Are you using it inside update panel?

I figured it out, stupid update panels wont allow the control to work, adding the trigger wont work and making the page multipart wont work either, i need to find some sort of ajax upload control

Yes FileUpload does not work with UpdatePanel

Try the ASP.Net new ASyncUploadControl

Yes, if you are using the new AJAX Control toolkit (3.0.30930) (Download Here: http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=33804) then the previously mentioned AsyncFileUpload control is avaliable, and a sample can be tested here:

FileUpload in UpdatePanel:

...Now if for some reason you are on an older AJAX version and can not move up right now, or are still using the .NET Framework 2.0, then check out this blog for a solution until you can move up to the new control:
