    Programatically setting TempDirectory ?

    Reply Quote
    Dynamically setting the TempDirectory in the code behind does not work?
     
      this.Uploader1.TempDirectory = "~/temp/U1/T"; 
     instead of in the aspx page as TempDirectory="~/temp/U1/Tx"
     
    The temp directory will vary depending on the users login. It needs to be set dynamically in code? 
     
    http://ajaxuploader.com/document/index.htm#page=BeforeYouBegin.htm
     
    I tried just setting the tempdirectory on the server in pre-render  with no luck.
    I also tried to dynamically create the entire instance of the control but it failed to perform an upload because of not being able to load jquery?
     
       CuteWebUI.Uploader up = new Uploader();
                   up.TempDirectory = "~/temp/U1/T";
                   up.ID = "Uploader2";
                   up.CancelButtonID = "Uploader2Cancel";
                   up.ShowProgressBar = false;
                   up.ShowProgressInfo = false;
                   up.FileTooLargeMsg = "File is too large!";
                   up.MultipleFilesUpload = true;
                   up.UploadCompleted += new UploaderBatchEventHandler(Uploader1_UploadCompleted);
                   divUpload.Controls.Add(up);
    Any suggestions? - Thanks!

    Hi paulg,
     
    You can set TempDirectory by the code below
     
    1. <%@ Page Language="C#" %>  
    2.   
    3. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">  
    4.   
    5. <script runat="server">  
    6.     protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)  
    7.     {  
    8.         base.OnInit(e);  
    9.         Uploader1.TempDirectory = "~/temp/u2/";  
    10.     }  
    11.   
    12.     void InsertMsg(string msg)  
    13.     {  
    14.         ListBoxEvents.Items.Insert(0, msg);  
    15.         ListBoxEvents.SelectedIndex = 0;  
    16.     }  
    17.     void Uploader_FileUploaded(object sender, UploaderEventArgs args)  
    18.     {  
    19.         Uploader uploader = (Uploader)sender;  
    20.         InsertMsg("File uploaded! " + args.FileName + ", " + args.FileSize + " bytes.");  
    21.   
    22.         //Copys the uploaded file to a new location.  
    23.         //args.CopyTo("c:\\temp\\"+args.FileName);  
    24.         //You can also open the uploaded file's data stream.  
    25.         //System.IO.Stream data = args.OpenStream();  
    26.     }       
    27. </script>  
    28.   
    29. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    This did not work for me on the page_load however? Since init preceeds  viewstate loading of postback data I can not retrieve the information I need to properly identify the path to set? Any suggestions?

    I guess in practice absolute uniqueness  is not necessary and may be better if it's not done since the file itself appears to be unique coming from the ajaxuploader. I would be interested to know if there is a solution but it isn't absolutely essential.

    Hi paulg,
     
    Try set in your web.config
     
         <appSettings>
      <add key="CuteWebUI.AjaxUploader.TempDirectory" value="~/temp" /> 
        </appSettings>
     
    Regards,

    Maybe I'm not clear. It works on the init override but I wanted it to work on page load so I can customize the folder to the specific account. It occurs too early for that. A static isn't helpful in this regard either. If I just want a static tempdirectory the init or web config will work file. It would be advantageous to set the target folder but it's not critical.

    Hi paulg,
     
     Its TempDirectory attribute can be set in Page Load event
    Please test the section code below
    1. protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
    2. {  
    3.     Uploader1.TempDirectory = "~/temp/u3/";  
    4. }

    Jeff
