Buying an upload component

Re: Buying an upload component

[re: wives] that's how I found mine!

She started cleaning three minutes after getting into my rented house and I
thought to myself 'that's the woman for me'. Joking of course, my wife is
amazing and even puts up with me tapping away at 2am in the morning if
something grabs me.

That's really the key, finding what works for you. In some cases, we
use the absolute worst product for the job simply because we're
comfortable programming with it. In my case, I usually test the first
component I find, if I can understand it and comfortably work with it
within three minutes, I don't normally look at the next one.
Sometimes it takes a few tries, sometimes you get lucky right out of
the gate. But you would never get anything productive done if you
agonized over every choice you made and examined all the what-if's
involved.

Works the same with wives... :)

Re: Buying an upload component

Ahh! the joys of letting other people make your decisions for you :)

LoL.

Seriously, Dundas [free], ASPUpload [relatively expensive], and my
favourite ABCUpload (http://www.websupergoo.com/products.htm) all seem to
get good reviews. I like the Web Supergoo components, I've used a few of
them (especially the PDF one) and the support is very good. I detected a
memory leak in the PDF component and they had a fix out without 48 hours so
I was pretty impressed.

Quote from Supergoo website:

ABCUpload ASP is normally priced at $149. However as a special offer we'll
give you a free license key - all you have to do is link back to our web
site. For full details check out our link guidelines...

Sounds interesting if you can give them the link back.

Re: Buying an upload component

Hi, Fred
Oh, I'm sorry, some old info on my web-site.

Pure-ASP upload v 2.0 has very improoved performance - it can upload up
to 100th of megabytes and its performance is on ~30-40% of best-component
performance (Huge-ASP upload, of course :-). So the info about 100kB and
exceptionally MB is very old. I must change it.

Most of public pure-asp upload scripts and VBA components (each of?)
have some bad algorithms - request.BinaryR ead(request.Tot alBytes) - one
block reading, and single byte-to-char conversions when storing files on
server-side. Consumed processor time depends by square on source file/form
size, so upload limit is on megabytes, depending on processor performance.

Pure-ASP 2.0 upload has block-by-block algorithm to read source data and
has NO single byte-to-char conversions. So its performance depends linearly
on source data size and the performance is really exciting for big files
(100th megabytes or 20% of a free memory is a limit, 10th of megabytes
without problems).
