  AjaxFileUpload corrupt files if the file name contains Arabic text !

  Apr 17, 2014 07:23 AM|bomayed|LINK

  After uploading so many files using AjaxFileUpload , I noticed all files uploaded to the server are corrupted.  The error message I get is "Excel can not open the file عربي.xlsx because the fileformat or the file extention is not valid".

  If I change the file name from (عربي.xlsx) to (arabic.xlsx) and reupload the file then the file works!

  more strange than that is when I tried to upload empty text file with arabic name and when I opened the file , the file opened correctly , but I found letter "n" in the content of the file which I didn't add in the first place !

  Can someone explain how I can resolve this issue ? Thank you

  Bomayed,

  Not sure but you might like to change the culture info of your page hosting file upload.

  See if this works

  Hi bomayed,

  Thank you post the issue to asp.net forum.

  Just for a diagnosis, please try to upload the excel file with the عربي.xlsx name, then try to change the file name as arabic.xlsx in the

  AjaxFileUpload1_UploadComplete method like below.

   protected void AjaxFileUpload1_UploadComplete(object sender, AjaxControlToolkit.AjaxFileUploadEventArgs e)
          {
              var filename = "Arabic" + System.IO.Path.GetExtension(e.FileName);
              AjaxFileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/Files/") + filename);
          }

  Then see if it ok. If not please see below similar thread AjaxFileUpload file name cannot contains special chars, and vote it.
