Hi,

Is there a way to upload multiple files in asp.net? I thought that there was (just add two fileupload controls right?) Well my app was working when I just had one fileupload control. When I added a second one I now get the 'document contains no data' message whenever i try to upload. If i delete the second box that error goes away.

i increased the maxrequestlength value in the web.config because i know that, that is the culprit sometimes for that error but it brought no joy ... alas the error is still alive and well.

Is this even doable or should i be trying a different route?

Many Thanks,

thats strange, is this probelm happening in any other system???

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
 
I have the following controls on the page

Code:
<INPUT id="txtAttachment" type="file" runat="server"> 
<INPUT id="File1" type="file" name="File1" runat="server">
<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button>

Then I just got the information for each one and used

Code:
Me.txtAttachment.PostedFile.SaveAs(path & filename)
Me.File1.PostedFile.SaveAs(path & filename2)

I can post all of the code if you need me to.

Are you posting back anywhere after you make the selection of a file?
 
no its just not working ... it appears to be ignoring the maxrequestlength value in the web.config for some reason. If I upload smaller files it works ...
