  AjaxFileUpload file not saving

  May 22, 2012 04:09 PM|LINK

  I'm trying to use the new AjaxFileUpload in the control toolkit.

  Everything "appears" to be working.... as in I get no errors in my code, the event fires, and the aspx.page shows the uploads and completes, but none of the files ever save.

  It looks so simple yet I just cant seem to get the file to save to a folder on the development machine...

  protected void UploadComplete(object sender, AjaxControlToolkit.AjaxFileUploadEventArgs e)
          {
              string path = MapPath("~/tmp/") + e.FileName;
              AjaxFileUpload1.SaveAs(path);
          }

  <asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
  
      <ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager runat="server">
      </ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager>
  
      <ajaxToolkit:AjaxFileUpload ID="AjaxFileUpload1" runat="server" 
      ThrobberID="MyThrobber"
      OnUploadComplete="UploadComplete" />
  
      <asp:Image ID="myThrobber" 
      runat="server" 
      ImageUrl="~/Images/throbber.gif"
      Style="display:None" />
  
  </asp:Content>

  Does the tmp directory exist and have the correct folder permissions?

  Check to make sure that they are saving to the right location. Your code for your path variable might be throwing it off, meaning MapPath("~/tmp/") might be returning something like... "C:\YourCoolFolder" and then you are immediately appending the file name so it migh tbe like...

  "C:\YourCoolFolderYourCoolPicture.jpg" so it might be missing a backslash ("\") there.

  You can also put that in a try/catch block to see whats going on if its throwing a possible error.

  protected void UploadComplete(object sender, AjaxControlToolkit.AjaxFileUploadEventArgs e)
  {
      try
      {
          string path = MapPath("~/tmp/") + e.FileName;
          AjaxFileUpload1.SaveAs(path);
      }
      catch (Exception ex)
      {
          // grab exception here.
      }
  }

  string path = MapPath("~/tmp/") + e.FileName;

  try string strPath = MapPath("~/Uploads/") + Path.GetFileName(e.filename);

  It seemed my file path was not correct.  The confusing part was that I was not using a try/catch, yet the page would report the upload as successful when it obviously wasnt.

  In the end, this is what worked for me....

  protected void UploadComplete(object sender, AjaxControlToolkit.AjaxFileUploadEventArgs e)
          {
              string c = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(e.FileName);
              string path = MapPath("//c:/tmp/") + c;
              AjaxFileUpload1.SaveAs(path);
  
              SetLabel(c);
          }
