Asynchronous file upload with .NET AJAX toolkit - in an updatepanel
25.03.2010. 11:51
This is interesting - after spending days researching the best method of uploading files whilst still using our beloved updatepanels I eventually came to the conclusion that without the use of iframes and other such horrible methods there really isn't a way to do it.
I then went about coding the pages manually with javascript whenever nice effects were needed as opposed to sticking the whole lot in an updatepanel. Low and behold though - just as I finished the page and was happy with the result I noticed a link on the AJAX toolkit website for a component which uploads files whilst being inside an updatepanel.
I have yet to fully test it as I have a working solution for my project now but it will be my first port of call next time I need to have a file upload bang in the middle of an updatepanel. Looking at the
example on the asp.net website it seems very user friendly as well!
