Uploading Multiple Files in ASP.NET 2.0: Part II

In ASP.NET 2.0, the FileUpload control enables the users to upload the files from your web pages. Here, I am going to show you, "how can you upload multiple file on a single button click in ASP.NET 2.0." Here, in the same article I am adding one more functionality, i.e. the user can get the right to upload any number of images by clicking on Add button.

In ASP.NET 2.0, the FileUpload control enables the users to upload files from web pages. The FileUpload control consists of a text box and a browse button. A click on the button allows the users to select a file on the client and upload it to the server. Here, I am representing a functionality to provide a right to the user to upload any number of images.

Let us start with uploading multiple files on a single button click. 

Follow these 2 steps:
 

Here is the aspx code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">

    <title>Make Multiple Upload Images</title>

 

    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">               

         function DecreaseRow(rowNo)

        {

            var hid = document.getElementById('<%= hidCurRow.ClientID %>');

            hid.value = rowNo;

        }

        function IncreseRows()

        {

            var hid = document.getElementById('<%= hidCurRow.ClientID %>');

            hid.value = "";

        }

        function SetZero()

        {

            var hid = document.getElementById('<%= hidCurRow.ClientID %>');

            hid.value = "0";

        }

    </script>

 

</head>

<body>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="80%" align="center">

            <tr>

                <td>

                    <asp:Table ID="tblMin" runat="server">

                        <asp:TableHeaderRow>

                            <asp:TableHeaderCell>

                        File

                            </asp:TableHeaderCell>

                            <asp:TableHeaderCell>

                        Remove

                            </asp:TableHeaderCell>

                        </asp:TableHeaderRow>

                        <asp:TableRow>

                            <asp:TableCell>

                                <asp:FileUpload ID="fu1" runat="server" />

                            </asp:TableCell>

                            <asp:TableHeaderCell>

                                <asp:Button ID="btn1" runat="server" Text="Remove" OnClientClick="return DecreaseRow('1');" />

                            </asp:TableHeaderCell>

                        </asp:TableRow>

                    </asp:Table>

                    <asp:Button ID="btnAdd" runat="server" OnClick="btnAdd_Click" Text="Add" OnClientClick="return IncreseRows();" />

                    <asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnSubmit_Click"

                        OnClientClick="SetZero();" /><br />

                    <asp:HiddenField ID="hidMax" runat="server" Value="1" />

                    <asp:HiddenField ID="hidRow" runat="server" Value="1" />

                    <asp:HiddenField ID="hidCurRow" runat="server" />

                </td>

            </tr>

        </table>

    </form>

</body>

</html>

                fup = (FileUpload)tblMin.FindControl("fu" + strVal[count]);

                if (fup != null)

                {

                    if (fup.PostedFile != null && fup.FileName != "")

                    {

                        fup.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("MyFiles") + "\\" + Path.GetFileName(fup.FileName));

                    }

                }

            }

        }

    }

}

 

When, we run the Apllication, result will be:
