FileUpload and Ajax

Hi,

I'm using .Net 2.0, Ajax extension.

I'm trying to use the FileUpload and Ajax so the file upload will post itself and not the whole page. It doesn't work.

I read somewhere that there is no Ajax support for FileUpload control yet. Is that right?

I want the user to upload a file and see an animated gif as the progress bar while the file is uploading.

10x.

I'd heard it's not possible and read just yesterday that with Microsoft's Atlas/ Ajax Beta it's NOT possible, due to how the XMLHttpRequest object handles connections.

FileUpload and some other controls are not compatible with ajax extensions. You can revise at http://ajax.asp.net/docs/overview/Up...lOverview.aspx

However, you can use iframes to make ajax-like file upload system, and make it work with ajax extensions. Here are my blog posts which also includes downloadable source code:

You can easily add javascripts to show and hide your animated image, when button is clicked and after process is complete (in RegisterStartupScript method)
