How to create asynchronous file up loader using ajax in ASP.Net


Ajax files uploader in ASP.Net/C# to upload files to Server as asynchronous 

In most of the web applications, there might be have an option to upload files to server. If we are using ASP.Net file uplaoder option to upload files, will have postback after every server request. It may be very disturbance to the user. In order to avoid postback while uploading files into server in ASP.Net/C#, we can implement AJAX mechanism.

Include AjaxControlToolkit reference to the Project

First of all we need to refer ajax tool kit to our project. In order to do this, right click the project and add reference and select the folder that included the ajaxtoolkit file. Once we added, in the aspx page below line will be displayed

<%@ Register Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" tagPrefix="ajax" %>

After that we can incuded ajax  uploader into the ASPX page like this.

<ajax:AsyncFileUpload ID="fileUpload1" OnClientUploadComplete="uploadComplete"OnClientUploadError="uploadError" 
CompleteBackColor="White" Width="350px" runat="server" UploaderStyle="Modern"UploadingBackColor="#CCFFFF" 
ThrobberID="imgLoad" OnUploadedComplete="fileUploadComplete" />

There are some special kind if events are available in the control like onUploadComplete, OnClineUploadError ..

OnClientUploadError – This property is used to execute the client side JavaScript function if file uploading failed.

OnClientUploadStarted – This property is used to execute the client side JavaScript function whenver file uploading start.

OnClientUploadComplete – This property is used to execute the client side JavaScript function after file successfully uploaded.

CompleteBackColor – This property is used to set fileupload control background after file upload complete its default value ‘Lime’.

ErrorBackColor – This property is used to set fileupload control background if file upload failed its default value ‘Red’.

UploadingBackColor – This property is the id of the control which is seen during upload file.

UploaderStyle – This property is used to set fileupload control appearance style either Modern orTraditional. By default its value “Traditional”.

ThrobberID – ID of control that is shown while the file is uploading.

 

ASPX PAGE

<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="ajax" %> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> 
<head id="Head1" runat="server"> 
<title>Untitled Page</title> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
// This function will execute after file uploaded successfully 
function uploadComplete() { 
document.getElementById('<%=lblMsg.ClientID %>').innerHTML = "File Uploaded Successfully"; 
} 
// This function will execute if file upload fails 
function uploadError() { 
document.getElementById('<%=lblMsg.ClientID %>').innerHTML = "File upload Failed."; 
} 
</script> 
</head> 
<body> 
<form id="form1" runat="server"> 
<ajax:ToolkitScriptManager ID="scriptManager1" runat="server"/> 
<div> 
<ajax:AsyncFileUpload ID="fileUpload1" OnClientUploadComplete="uploadComplete"OnClientUploadError="uploadError"
 CompleteBackColor="White" Width="350px" runat="server" UploaderStyle="Modern"UploadingBackColor="#CCFFFF"
 ThrobberID="imgLoad" OnUploadedComplete="fileUploadComplete" /><br />
 <asp:Image ID="imgLoad" runat="server" ImageUrl="loading.gif" />
 <br />
 <asp:Label ID="lblMsg" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>
 </div>
 </form>
 </body>
 </html>

CODE BEHIND
