Uploading Multiple files in asp.net

[cmrhema]

Hi,

I am using .net framework 2.0. I want to upload multiple files. Usually the file upload control will upload only one file at a time.
Whereas I want to upload more than one file.

Any valuable suggestions please.

You can use Javascript to create dynamic fileupload control (no limit)

In the .Net code, use the foreach loop to go through each of file in the File collection and do the upload.

Have you actually tried this Daonho?
Does it work? Or does .NET complain about validation problems?

Yeah I've used this approach many and seemed to work fine. I tried to upload around up 30 files before. I think it might become problematic if you try to upload a bunch of large files.

I attached a quick demo (written in C# VS 2005). I didn't retrieve the file upload control data on postback so it doesn't hold it value. Remove the .zip extension and extract it as a rar file.
