Multiple Attachment Custom Control in Sharepoint

Hey guys, sorry for not writing this part within the same period I've written the previous 3 parts, but that is because I wanted to be sure that the code is written without bugs, so in the previous 3 weeks we have tested the control extensively and solved many issues we have found in it and now its stable, so finally we have decided to post the code to continue our 4 part series of articles.

We will now explain the most important part of our Multiple upload attachment control implementation, which is the class that implements all the logic of our control.

Remember: The control we are going to make is a control that adds multiple attachments to each of 3 lists regarding the type of the file you are going to upload. The three types of files we have are Images, Videos and other files or PDF.

So after uploading any file there is a GUID id generated as an id for the file that is saved with the same list as a name for the file uploaded and as a title for the file, the title column will contain the file name and the GUIDs of all the items that contains this file.

I know that this article may be somehow unclear but I think some photos will make everything more obvious.

In the next image is the back-end of our control, this is how to create a new column of the type of our Uploader.

Here you will specify the 3 lists to be uploaded of your files, these lists are preferred to be on the root of your application and then you will specify the number of files you want to upload per each type, if you want to disable uploading images for example then just make the number of image files = 0 and by that you can put Images list name = any string as null.

And this image is the layout of our control.

And that is how to select a file from the previous files you've uploaded and the existing files are loaded from the list related to the type you are choosing.

Uploading files.

The following picture shows the item added in the images list and as shown it's name is a GUID representing this file id and its title is: Testing File.Jpg * (the GUID id of the main item that contains this file).

And after creating the main item in my list that will contain many attached files it will be shown as follows:

In the previous image you can see the item with title = News Item and the value stored in the Multiple File Uploader is the GUID id representing this item and this id is used to connect the item with its related uploaded files as shown in the picture of the images list (the id of the news item is the same as found in the title column of the image created in the images list) .

I think by now everything is more clear so I can post the code that implements this control.

Hello First thanks for great post! Second, i spend 6 hours on your codes, but unfortunately couldn't get expected result. Would you please send it as a solution or inform about some setting that i wanted for this project? Please check your email.

Hi, i´m kinda new in this of using controls... How do you implement this in a PlaceHolder¿? Plz. I´m using a method to do custom applications where I use 2 pages, one for Design (without main masterpage) and other for the implementation in a sharepoint site (with the main masterpage attached). Thank you in advance.

  Thank you... Here I go... I use placeholders to embed controls in my application pages, because the way i have to manage the design and the implementation in Sharepoint Services 3. So I tried leaving your code outside the namespace you used, and copy it inside a class file from the implementation.page (.cs) just leaving outside the namespace your code, in the OnInit method... But i can´t figure how to add the control into the placeholder... Something like: <ADDRESS>protected FileUploader attachmentControl; this.attachmentControl = new FileUploader(coleccionCamposCom, "curriculums", "Carga de Currilum Vitae");</ADDRESS> <ADDRESS>attachmentControl.AllowDeletion = true;</ADDRESS> <ADDRESS>attachmentControl.Description =</ADDRESS> <ADDRESS>"Favor de seleccionar el archivo del Curriculum Vitae que se usar para cargar en ste comentario";</ADDRESS> <ADDRESS>containerAttachment.Controls.Add(attachmentControl);</ADDRESS> But is not working the way I was thinking or the way I insert other controls in page.
