Hi,

And the question is ? It seems you are looking for http://techfunda.com/howto/282/upload-multiple-files-on-server and you would have just one fileSingle control with a fileMultiple control using the multiple attribute.

If having a single thumbinal I would not use this db design (the thumbnail would be part of a Gallery table and you have a table holding a row for each image).

If you need further help please don't stop at telling us what you want to do. Tell us what is the first problem when trying to do that so that we can focus on what you need (and don't waste time on trying to explain what you know how to do).

Edit: System.Random could perhaps help what won't be unique ? This is an id or an order ? Also it seems you are usiing the client side file name which can cause collitions. I prefer to keep the original name in my db and name them myself in my server side storage.
