This is more of an academic interest at this point, but is there a way to use the TempDirectory property vice putting it in the web.config file?  I cannot seem to get that property to work.  The program creates a resource file called "processing..." for each file, but then the app craps out with saying it cannot find the generic temp folder or throwing some other error depending on what settings I have, most notably setting the property for using the system temp folder by default.  However, once i set this in the web.config file, it works like a charm.

Hi gustyn,

 

Try property "TempDirectory", like below

I am using MVC so I do not use the ASP.NET webforms in my views.  I have used the TempDirectory="" in my controller with no effect.  Thanks though for your answer.

 

 

Hi gustyn,

 

Try this way

 

1. Open file UploadHandler.ashx

 

2. Find section below

 

3. Change to

 

  public override void OnUploaderInit(MvcUploader uploader)
    {

         //change photo to your folder name

        uploader.TempDirectory ="~/photo";
    }

 

4. Open file "Controllers/SamplesController.cs"

 

5.  Add the same section as step3 in the the method below

 

             }

 

Like 

 

}

 

6. Build the project

yeah, I think that would work.  the ashx file is probably saving to the default location (the one set in web.config in my case currently) only setting it in the control means it is looking for it in one spot when it was originally saved in the default.

 

Currently I am only using the ashx file as a skeleton to handle the initial upload because I reaally need the controller to control all the saving etc due authentication requirements.  I do not want to have to control authentication over two different technologies.

 

if you have a way to bypass the ashx file altogether, now that would be awesome.

 

Thanks
