prevent upload control from uploading a blank file

Expand Post »

hi, i have set a condition on the upload function

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if (FileUploadControl1.PostedFile == null) {
 
lblResult.Text = "Please select a file first";
 
}
 
else
 
{
//upload a file
}
if (FileUploadControl1.PostedFile == null) {

lblResult.Text = "Please select a file first";

}

else

{
//upload a file
}

but if i press upload button when no file is selected it still uploads a blank file regardless of the "if' condition i set, does any1 know why this might be?

cheers

Re: prevent upload control from uploading a blank file

Try this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

if (FileUploadControl1.HasFile)
{
    //upload a file   
}
else
{
    lblResult.Text = "Please select a file first";   
}
