[CLOSED] FileUploadField in a ToolBar

[peter.campbell]

Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a FileUploadField to work inside an ext:ToolBar.

  <ext:FileUploadField ID="statementFile" runat="server" EmptyText="Select a scanned statement file"
                                Width="300" CtCls="button-fix" IsFormField="true">
                                <Listeners>
                                    <FileSelected Handler="var b=#{btnUploadStatement};b.enable();" />
                                </Listeners>
  /ext:FileUploadField>

But when I post back to the controller, the Request.Files array is empty:

 [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
        public ActionResult Upload() {
            HttpPostedFileBase postedFile = Request.Files[0];
            ........
        }

I read in the post here that you need to wrap it in a form to make it work; but in this post, here it indicates it is possible in a toolbar just as I have tried.

Which is correct? Is their something else I should do to properly have it submit?

Cheers.

Hi,

I guess Vladimir forgot to add <form> in that example, because there was problem in css.

So, <form> is definitely required.

Thanks. This almost works; it will now try and download the file, however, (in IE8; our target platform) when I click on the button that submits the form it does upload.. but then tries to download the file itself again.

My upload button:

 <ext:Button ID="btnUploadStatement" runat="server" Disabled="true" Icon="Attach"
                                Text="Upload Statement" ToolTip="Uploads the chosen file to the server for processing.">
                                <DirectEvents>
                                    <Click IsUpload="true" Method="POST" Url="/Commission/Upload/" Failure="SaveAndInvest.alertBox('Error', result.errorMessage)" />
                                        <EventMask ShowMask="true" Msg="Uploading file.." />
                                    </Click>
                                </DirectEvents>
                            </ext:Button>

The part of code causing this seems to be:

 public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context)
        {
            if (this.IsUpload)
            {
                context.HttpContext.Response.Write("<textarea>{0}</textarea>".FormatWith(new ClientConfig().Serialize(this)));
            }
           .....

Any ideas why it tries to download after uploading?

The answer is in the thread you mentioned.

Set up .IsUpload = true for AjaxResult.
