how to upload excel file with duplicate name file but its don't do overwrite the previous name file. So if i upload the file with same name it will saving like windows do.
ex. firstly i upload excel file = "fileExcel". then i upload again with same name ="fileExcel". And it should be 2 file on the upload folder, first with name "fileExcel" and "fileExcel(1)".
so if i upload again and again with the same name of file it will continuously grow. (1),(2),(3),(4), etc
here is my code :
Dim fileName As String = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName)
Dim fileExtension As String = Path.GetExtension(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName)
Dim fileLocation As String = Server.MapPath("~/Upload/" & fileName)
FileUpload1.SaveAs(fileLocation)
If fileExtension = ".xls" Then
connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & fileLocation & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=2"""
ElseIf fileExtension = ".xlsx" Then
connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & fileLocation & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=2"""
End If
thanks before
You could use a File.Exists
and a counter variable:
Dim fileExtension = IO.Path.GetExtension(fileLocation)
Dim fileName = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileLocation)
Dim folder = IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(fileLocation)
Dim counter = 0
While IO.File.Exists(fileLocation)
counter += 1
Dim newFileName = String.Format("{0}({1}){2}", fileName, counter, fileExtension)
fileLocation = IO.Path.Combine(folder, newFileName)
End While
