Hi all,

I have aritten an application which uploads students' files for marking and after having successfully uploaded some 1700 pieces of work I have now found that if the file exceeds about 4Mb then the following code snippet doesn't work. Any help would be much appreciated!

Since no one has responded yet ...

From the .NET Framework Class Library in MSDN:

The maximum allowed uploaded file size is 8MB by default. Maximum file size can be specified in the machine.config or Web.config configuration files in the maxRequestLength attribute of the <httpRuntime> Element element. The maximum file size for a specific page can be specified using the <location> Element element in a Web.config file.

Is it possible you have a limitation set on your server(s) that you don't know about?

Thanks for the advice. The problem is cured now by an addition to the web.config specifying filesize to 10 Mb in my case
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength = 10000 />
