Upload file in listview

Hi

I am trying to do something similar to this

FileUpload FileUpload1 = (FileUpload)ListView1.InsertItem.FindControl("File Upload1");

We learned this when we were uploading a path to our database with the insert item template.

My question would be how can we use something similar with an Edit item template? I was using the following code with the FileUpload and with the AsyncFileUpload control but it won't work.

AsyncFileUpload AsyncFileUpload1 = (AsyncFileUpload)ListView1.EditItem.FindControl("A syncFileUpload1");

It seems that is different with the edit template.

Please help me!!

Thank you.

Hi there,

Where are you executing this code? You should be able to do this from the ItemEditing event, provided you don't have the control wrapped in an UpdatePanel in which case the upload control won't work as expected.

Cheers,

You were right my mistake was with the UpdatePanel I was using it. Now it is working.

I am working with the ItemUpdating event because when I tried the ItemEditing I got an exception because it did not allow time to upload the file so with the ItemUpdating first I can upload the file and the event checks. I really appreciate your help.

When are you planning to write other book as good as this one but with more advanced topics? I really liked the approach that you used with a real applications.

Thanks a lot.

When somebody puts 48 hours in a day ;-) In other words, no concrete plans....
