VB asp.net help for file upload

Good Evening My Wonderful Friends.

Not trying to butter you up or anything :-) But I need some help. Again.

My other half has asked me to knock up a website for her which I have but there is a need for an upload control. I need people to be able upload photos. I need a control to bring up a browse box. Allow them to select multiple files from their computer and hit ok then upload those images to my server (not for viewing just to upload)

Anyone ave any examples they can point me to so I can start learning.

Thanks in advance,
Max

Hey,

I think what you are after is the FileUpload control:

You can see an example of how to use this here:

Now, out of the box, this won't allow you to do multiple files uploads. Ways around this would be to get the user to first zip up the files, and then on the server, you could extract those files from the zip file.

If you don't want to go down that route, you can have a look at the SWFUpload control:

http://www.swfupload.org/

Which does allow you to do multiple files.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Ill take a look into that. And I don't think I will go down the road of zipping because most of the people that will be using this site barley know how to turn a computer on let alone how to zip files :-)

Ha ha, I know that feeling only too well :)

Let me know how you get on, or if you have any other questions.
