Gridview in user control ??

[jamin20]

Hi there,
I need to create a user control (unless you advise a better approach) that will contain a:
1- a FileUpload control .
2- a Gridview to display uploaded files.

Could anyone:
1- confirm that this approach is fine or put me on the right track ?
2- provide some code to help me to implement my solution ?

Thanks in avance
Jamin

1.) There is no reason why you couldn't put an upload control and a gridview in a user control. However, there is no reason to create a user control unless you plan on using that control on multiple pages in your site.
2.) In order to display the uploaded images in the gridview, you will have to save the info in a database. Then after the upload, insert into the db table, and query the table and display in the gridview.
