Getting client path of uploaded files serversided

Hi,

is there a possibility to get the client path of uploaded files server sided?

The class UploaderEventArgs has a clientdata property but it is empty. How can i fill this property with client data?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

We are not able to provide the path of the file, because Flash/Silverlight and some browser's <input> do not provide that information.

For client data, you can check this demo :

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="CuteWebUI" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="CuteWebUI" Namespace="CuteWebUI" Assembly="CuteWebUI.AjaxUploader" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

protected void UploadAttachments1_AttachmentAdded(object sender, AttachmentItemEventArgs args)
	{
		TextBox tb = (TextBox)args.Item.FindControl("textboxDesc");
		tb.Text = args.Item.ClientData;
	}

protected void UploadAttachments1_AttachmentCreated(object sender, AttachmentItemEventArgs args)
	{
		TextBox tb = (TextBox)args.Item.FindControl("textboxDesc");
		tb.TextChanged += new EventHandler(tb_TextChanged);
	}

void tb_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		TextBox tb=(TextBox)sender;
		for (Control c = tb; c != null; c = c.Parent)
		{
			if (c is AttachmentItem)
			{
				((AttachmentItem)c).ClientData = tb.Text;
				return;
			}
		}
	}

protected void buttonTell_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
		sb.Append("There's " + UploadAttachments1.Items + " items:");
		foreach (AttachmentItem item in UploadAttachments1.Items)
		{
			sb.Append("<br/>");
			sb.Append(item.FileName);
			sb.Append("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;");
			sb.Append(item.ClientData);
		}
		labelMsg.Text = sb.ToString();
	}
</script>
