FileName of downloaded file

Reply Quote

When the file gets downloaded to the temp directory, is there anyway to get that filename since it is not the "pure" filename.

gBurgur,

You can use args.FileName property to get the file name of the uploaded files.

Here is an example:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">
void Uploader_FileUploaded(object sender, UploaderEventArgs args)
{
Uploader uploader = (Uploader)sender;
//Copys the uploaded file to a new location.
//args.CopyTo("c:\\temp\\"+args.FileName);
}
</script>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<CuteWebUI:Uploader runat="server" ID="Uploader1" OnFileUploaded="Uploader_FileUploaded"></CuteWebUI:Uploader>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I went throught the API and realize the "true" filename is args.FileName
but that is not what I am asking.

Example:
    A user uploads a file "temp1.xml".
    but in the temporary download folder it is called:
        persisted.630f0c11-2cc1-4a77-ba91-0b177f23772b.temp1.xml.resx

Before I can copy the file to the destination folder,
I have to make sure the destination folder doesn't contain
a file called "temp1.xml".

If another file already has a name of "temp1.xml" in the destination folder,
I need to rename the newly downloaded file:
    temp1.xml
    to
    temp1_001.xml   <<< notice the "_001"

Without the temporary filename of
    persisted.630f0c11-2cc1-4a77-ba91-0b177f23772b.temp1.xml.resx

    I need to copy the file using
    args.CopyTo("special_Folder__NOT_destination_folder")
    and then rename the file to temp1_001.xml
    and then again copy it to the true destination folder.

Instead of doing a double-copy just to rename the file to "*_001.xml",
    I would like to rename the file myself from:
    persisted.630f0c11-2cc1-4a77-ba91-0b177f23772b.temp1.xml.resx
    to
    temp1_001.xml
    and then copy it to the destination folder.

It means a single file copy instead of the double file copy.

Thus, I need someway to get the filename called:
    persisted.630f0c11-2cc1-4a77-ba91-0b177f23772b.temp1.xml.resx
    but I do not see anything in the API about that.

Is there anyway to get that filename? (persisted.630f0c11-2cc1-4a77-ba91-0b177f23772b.temp1.xml.resx)

Thanks,
Gene

Kenneth at CuteSoft emailed me the answer directly so I am posting it here.

Response.Write("persisted." + args.FileGuid + ".resx");

and in vb.Net

Dim sHoldthis As String = "persisted." + args.FileGuid.ToString + ".resx"

If you look at the property directly in the Property Viewer,

args.FileGuid =Nothing

so for whatever reason, it has to be directly in the code to

retrieve the value.

Thanks Kenneth
