What is the code for file upload?

[Mark Sandfox]

I have tried everyway i know both Input type=file and asp.net 2.0
asp:uploadfile and continue to run into road blocks at one point or another.

The objective is as follows:

Allow user to upload multiple files of a specific extension (i.e. .jpg). In
addition to uploading to a specific directory, I need to extract the
filename and extension to store in a database (don't worry about the
database side).

I have tried UploadFile but get a parsing error on the <asp:UploadFile line.

I had input working except for restricting file extension type.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for all you help.

Hi Mark,

can you be more specific about the errors you receive. The FileUpload
control is perfectly capable to upload a single file to the server (it
uses input type=file). Use more than 1 control to upload multiple
files. (or use

I don't know if this will help, but I just read a pretty decent article on
how to do file uploads on MSDN.

Here's the URL :
