So I've been stuck on this problem for quite a few hours now, searched forums, tried everything people suggest, but i just can't make it work.
I have a (rather large) web form. Somewhere on the form is an updatePanel which contains a CuteSoft Ajax Uploader control. That control calls a function in my code behind when a file is uploaded - this works fine. In that function I make some changes to the content in the updatePanel (add thumbnails etc), however the changes never reflect on the front end.
Here's the form (with irrelevant bits chopped out):
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="VehicleSubmissionWizard.ascx.cs"
Inherits="MaxAdmin.UserControls.VehicleSubmissionWizard" %>
...
<div id="template3" style="display: none;">

The Codebehind looks like this:
...
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
//Uploader.FileUploaded += new CuteWebUI.UploaderEventHandler(Uploader_FileUploaded);
Uploader.FileUploaded += Uploader_FileUploaded;
Uploader.UploadCompleted += Uploader_Complete;
Attachments.AttachmentRemoveClicked += Attachments_AttachmentRemoveClicked;
Attachments.InsertButton.Style["display"] = "none";
((HiddenField)FindControl("hdn")).Value = "0";
}
...
protected void Uploader_FileUploaded(object sender, CuteWebUI.UploaderEventArgs args)
{
...
using (System.IO.Stream stream = args.OpenStream())
{
// Check if file already exists - seems to do each image twice for some reason...
foreach (var ph in Photos)
if (String.Equals(ph.FileName, args.FileName))
return;
...
// Show image thumbnail
ShowUploadedPhotoDetails(p, ImageCount);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
...
}
}
private void ShowUploadedPhotoDetails(Photo photo, int imageNo)
{
if (imageNo <= 3)
{
var imagePanel = (Panel)FindControl(String.Concat("pnlImageDetails_", imageNo));
imagePanel.CssClass = "display_block";
imagePanel.Visible = true;
var uploadedImage = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image)FindControl(String.Concat("imgUploadedImage", imageNo));
uploadedImage.ImageUrl = photo.ImageUrlThumb;
uploadedImage.Visible = true;
uploadedImage.CssClass = "CSS_CLASS";
}
}
protected void Uploader_Complete(object sender, CuteWebUI.UploaderEventArgs[] args)
{
Uploader uploader = (Uploader)sender;
uploader.InsertButton.Enabled = (Photos.Count < 3);
// Force updatePanel to update
upImageUpload.Update();
}
So both the above functions fire when an image is uploaded. The image data is coming through fine. Debugging the values assigned to the controls (eg: ImageUrl, CssClass, etc) shows that they're getting assigned to the controls correctly.. however the values never get refreshed on the front end.
Any ideas what I've missed?
Thanks heaps Greg
