AsyncFileUpload *VERY* broken in the AjaxControlToolkit

I've just downloaded the new AjaxControlToolkit from codeplex to give the much anticipated AsyncFileUpload control a go, but unfortunately it has fallen at the first hurdle...

I have put it on a fairly simple page called uploadFile.aspx which takes a url argument:

uploadFile.aspx?myDbId=1

In the page load, it's doing stuff with Request["myDbId"].

When selecting a file using the new control, it posts it back straight away, but it hits a 500 error with the Request["myDbId"] line because it has stripped ALL url arguments and replaced them for it's own:

uploadFile.aspx?AsyncFileUploadID=ctl00_BodyPlaceHolder_ctl00&rnd=08382490910589695

This to me is a massive problem, and one I haven't been able to get around. Any solutions?

Solution

  • Here's an alternate solution if that one doesn't work out. This solution has been around for a year or two, and it is his second version. It includes a progress bar that doesn't require a flash dependency, and can handle very large files without problems.
