I know I can change the upload limit using my web.config fle but I'm just wondering is that the upload limit per file or the request as a whole?
Right now, I have my upload limit at 15MB but from the same page I can upload multiple files. If I upload mulitple files that as one are less than 15MB but as a whole more than 15MB would that generate a file request length exceeded exception?
The whole request is counted, even the Page size. But thats just a few Kilo Bytes, so its not kept in mind! The File size takes most of the request size.
I am sure it will create an execption. As the request as a whole will take the total size of the Request. So if altogether they exceed in size of 15MB. Thats gonna give an excetion.
Read more of my web development posts on my website. Thank you.
There is no "page" in a request. There are headers an possibly a payload (in the case of a POST request). The response contains the "page" (if it is of type text/html).

Try like this
long totallength = FileUpload1.FileContent.Length+FileUpload2.FileContent.Length+FileUpload3.FileContent.Length; if (totallength > 15000000) { }Suwandi - Non Graduate Programmer

The limit is imposed on the Request, not individual parts of it.
Yes, it would generate the HttpException. You can test this for yourself easily enough.

Ok, thank you. I couldn't test for myself because I am away from my computer.

I am sure if you load a page of 1KB for 1024 times. I will use 1MB Bandwidth. So in this case it does mean that the page also uses some of the size!
Isn't it this way?

So, the page is only a load on Bandwidth, but not on Http Requests. In this case, the Request will only have the data from the form! Right?

An HTTP Request consists of headers, form data, cookies, querystrings and client certificates.
