Are you a developer of web applications in ASP.NET? Do users of your applications upload data onto the server? Do they complain that every server upload is time-consuming and that they have no way of telling whether their upload is complete?
If you find yourself in one of the above then the ASP.NET Upload component should be your answer. This component fills in the gap left by browser developers and ASP.NET programmers, monitors data transfer onto the server in a clear way, and provides the following information: overall size of the transfered file or files names of the transfered files, information about the amount of data that has been sent to the server, elapsed transfer time, estimated time remaining until end of file transfer, current transfer rate, possible graphical representation of the file transfer.
Main features:
Project integration
- The component can be integrated into a project simply using the HTTP module (by adding a single line to the Web.config file).
- The standard means of access to saved files is using Request.Files or UploadFile.File.
- It is possible to use a special button to submit data to the server.
Transfer monitoring window
- The standard means of monitoring upload is in a separate window, which is pre-prepared as part of the component.
- Furthermore you have the option to program a window of your own and thus control the information displayed in it, and modify the design to suit the needs of your application.
- You can devise your own means of displaying transfer progress and can display further information such as the progress of processing the files sent on the server.
