Allen:
You can use the OnFileValidating event to write the custom validation code :
<CuteWebUI:UploadAttachments runat="server" ID="Uploader1" OnFileValidating="Uploader1_FileValidating" />
protected void Uploader1_FileValidating(object sender, UploaderEventArgs args)
{
if(!CheckFileStream(args.OpenStream()))
throw(new Exception("You file is not valid!"));
}
this exception message would pass to client side , and the uploader would alert it to the users.
