Ajaxcontrol Toolkit - AsyncFileUpload

I've recently ported an existing web application into mojoPortal, all fine and good, expect that the ajax AsyncFileUpload doesn't work. It's not showing the upload button but it is showing the hidden one that control uses under the hood.

<ajax:AsyncFileUpload runat="server"
ID="AsyncFileUpload"
  UploaderStyle="Modern"
  PersistFile="true" />

I know that I could use neat upload but i didn't want to recode my app.

Thanks.

Re: Ajaxcontrol Toolkit - AsyncFileUpload

Ok, I moved to neatupload - BUT it doesn't work in an update panel!!

This is a problem because I use my photo gallery/upload control in a jquery wizard and a full postback causes the wizard to return to step 1.

A solution? Any examples of doing file upload in an iframe?

Thanks.....

It is well known that NeatUpload does not work inside UpdatePanel

As far as the AsyncUploadControl, I suggest do some googling about using it in UserControl and in UpdatePanel

Re: Ajaxcontrol Toolkit - AsyncFileUpload

Hi,

Another related question:

It seems that I can't get AsyncFileUpload to work in IE9 (only). According to googled threads there seem to be such a problem, which can be solved with the latest Ajax Toolkit version.

But I'm unsure if I can just drop a newer ajax toolkit dll in the bin folder of MojoPortal. From which version of MojoPortal can we expect this to be solved? What do you suggest to do?

Here is a link to one of the discussions: http://forums.asp.net/t/1605987.aspx/1?ajax+AsyncFileUpload+control+is+not+working+with+IE9

Best regards,

Re: Ajaxcontrol Toolkit - AsyncFileUpload

Hi Lars,

The answer is no you cannot just drop in another version, it must be compiled against the specific version or else it would require some assembly mapping in Web.config

It is often problematic upgrading the Ajax toolkit, my add on products use it as does mojoPortal and the version used must be the same so whenever I update the toolkit I also have to make a new release of my products along with the new version of mojoPortal.

I would like to upgrade to the new version but when I look at the comments here it does not sound like a stable release and people are having problems with it. It has been my experience in the past that upgrading may fix some bugs and introduce new ones. It takes a lot of testing because sometime they break it so that it doesn't work in medium trust hosting and then I have to go back the previous version.

When I have time I will try upgrading it and testing to make sure it doesn't break anything but it is not my top priority so I'm not sure how soon I will get to it.

Best,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your quick reply - I respect your considerations.

The positive thing is we can expect it to be solved at some time , so that it's not a dead end.

I will rethink what to do on shorter term.

Thanks again - I love MojoPortal anyway ...

Re: Ajaxcontrol Toolkit - AsyncFileUpload

Due to some other changes I'm working on I will need to make new releases of my add on products corresponding to the next release of mojoPortal, so since I have to do that I will also try upgrading the ajax toolkit for the next release of mojoPortal.

Best,

Joe

Re: Ajaxcontrol Toolkit - AsyncFileUpload

fyi, I upgraded this morning and tested both .NET 4 and .NET 3.5 under medium trust and found no errors, so I've pushed this change to the source code repository and for sure the next release of mojoPortal will have the new version of ajaxcontrol toolkit.

Best,

Joe
