Uploading Mulitiple Files with HTMLInputFile Control

[Corey Erkes]

I am using ASP.Net with C# as the code behind and am trying to upload
multiple files with the HTMLInputFile Control. I am able to browse, select
a file, and finally upload, but only one file at a time. Is there a way to
select multiple files to upload at one time using this control, or possibly
another control?? Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank a lot!

Hi Corey,
The HTMLInputfile control allows uploading only one file at a time.. if you
want to upload multiple files at a time then you can
1) have multiple HTMLInputFile controls on a page and save the files
selected in each control on to the server
2) develop your own activex which can handles multiple file select and upload
3) go for any readily available third party controls

Corey,

HTMLInputFile will do only one at the time. Either shop for an ActiveX, or
try to find work-arounds. Here is one

The standard File control allows only one file to be specified for upload.
If you need to upload 2 files, then the simplest solution is to have 2 File
controls on the page.
There are fancier options, but they generally require thick clients. Here
are some 3rd party options that may help you out:
