Example 1
In the following example we declare one HtmlInputFile
control, one HtmlInputButton
control, and three HtmlGeneric controls in an .aspx file (remember to embed the controls
inside an HtmlForm control). When the submit button is triggered, the submit subroutine is executed. The
file name and file type are displayed on the page, while the file itself is
uploaded to the c directory on the server:
<script runat="server">
Sub submit(Sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
fname.InnerHtml=MyFile.PostedFile.FileName
clength.InnerHtml=MyFile.PostedFile.ContentLength
MyFile.PostedFile.SaveAs("c:\uploadfile.txt")
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<body>
<form method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data" runat="server">
<p>
Select file to upload to server:
<input id="MyFile" type="file" size="40" runat="server">
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Upload!" OnServerclick="submit"
runat="server">
</p>
<p>
<div runat="server">
FileName: <span id="fname" runat="server"/><br />
ContentLength: <span id="clength" runat="server"/> bytes
</div>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
