Hello there,

I am using File Filed html control (run at server) to upload a file to server. When I upload a smaller size of file, it works fine. but when size exceeds 3 mb then it goes in infinity. It just shows a "downloading <page along with address> from server" message on status bar.

Here I want to ask how big file can we upload using file field control.

Here important thing is that the file I am selecting is on the same machine. I am using http://localhost. what I am doing I am picking a file from one location and storing it in another location, that's it.
so there should not be any problem of network or anything.

hi there, we experienced something of a similiar sort,

we were experiencing weird behavior on a form which basically contained a few drop down lists

on some machines the browser was hanging at page load while in others the post back events wern't firing, we spent 3 days while trying to figure out what the hell was wrong... but in the end we found out that the response coming from the server was approx 10 MB in Size, and we used post back events on it it caused weird behavior on the server .... very weird


so we changed the queries and got filtered data but still we couldnt figure out why would it behave like that when the post back file size exceeded some definite size? if any know knows pls do let us know..
