Hello,
As per the current online documentation (http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2011.1/CLR4.0/?page=WebUpload_Known_Issues.html), the WebUpload control currently has the following known issue:
4. When you want to upload files and the browser displays a pop-window to select items from your local drives, you are able to select only one file at a time.
Are there any current plans to enhance the control to eliminate this issue (i.e. be able to select multiple files at the same time from the pop-window)? If so, is there a rough timeline for when that might become available?
(Our client would to be able to select multiple files from the same folder without having to re-open the file selection dialog each time.)
Thanks!
Jamie
Hello Jamie,
Thank you for posting on Infragistics forum.
The described by you behavior is known browser limitation – most of the browsers do not support multiple selection and WebForms/JavaScript controls are restricted by this limitation.
The available now a solution for this limitation is to use Flash or Silverlight components as part of the controls or for the control itself.
I have logged this functionality as a Feature Request in our Feature Tracking System since many other users are requiring the same functionality and our R&D team is researching the possible workarounds for this limitation.
We are planning to add this or similar functionality in our future versions (most probably in 11.2 version until the end of this year or in version 12.1 next year) of “WebUpload” control.
Let me know if you need further information about this question.

Hey Alex,
Thanks for your response. I had been suspecting that I might have to get into Silverlight or Flash for a workaround. My client is willing to go with a 3rd-party control for a solution, and since we're already using the Infragistics ASP.NET controls quite heavily in the project, we'd look to you first. (I'd rather not have to look into yet another vendor to acquire this functionality...)
Is there any chance that you could update this thread with the feature tracking reference number, so that it will be easier to ask about it in the future?
Also, if you have any inside info about whether it will make the cut for 2011.2, that would be greatly appreciated! (And whether that's looking like it will be a Sep/Oct release, or more like a Nov/Dec release... I might be able to stall the client until 2011.2, but likely won't be able to stall them until 2012.1...)
Hi Silvio,
This functionality will be released as part of Ignite UI and NetAdvantage for ASP.NET 13.1 which are expected to be released in the next couple of weeks.
Unfortunately there is no workaround for this.Best regards,Martin PavlovInfragistics, Inc.
It seems as it is not resolved yet. Injecting multiple="multiple" in file-input-control will allow to select more than one file, is there a workaround to make this control work with a multiple selection?
I already have version 12.1 and the problem persist.
Do you know when this is going to be resolve?
Hi Jamie,
It will be implemented - I suppose we can includ it for 12.1.
The main limitation here is the support for multiple file selection in different browsers for input type="file" - for instance IE9 or lower versions does not support multiple files selections in browse dialog.
Thanks,
Miro Hristov
We are going to need multiple-file-upload capabilities within the next few weeks. Do you have an update on how FR13561 is doing? Does it seem like it will make it into 2011 v2? If so, do you have a rough time frame for when 2011 v2 will be released?
