uploading files

[jimberger]

Hello,

I have a upload facility to upload a file - however, I do a check to see if the file already exists, if it does then I want to say "Do you want to overwrite this file?" with yes or no buttons. fine so far. However, on pressing yes I want to overwrite the file, the problem is that when I lose what ever was in file.postedfile so I can;t reupload until the usere selects the file again. is they any way i can store the file uploaded in a session variable so I can use it again when the user clicks to overwrite?

thanks your help
jim

Can you not persist it in viewstate? or do you not want to use viewstate?

viewState("PostedFile") = file.postedfile.FileName

i am sorry as i havnt written upload code for a while so my knowledge of the properties is a bit rusty.

You could use viewstate, or a session variable.

Or you could save it to a temporary folder on the server and then use that copy
