ASP - file upload in single step - c#

Browse and Upload with using asp:FileUploadcontrol is working perfectly fine.
But It is two step process. First we have to browse and then select the file.
I want it working in single step So for making it single step I tried the following code:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//to launch the hidden fileupload dialog
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript (GetType(),
"hwa", "document.getElementById('fileupload').click();", true);
//Getting the file name
if (this.fileupload.HasFile)
{
string filename = this.fileupload.FileName;
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "hwa", "alert('Selected File: '" + filename + ");", true);
}
else
{
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "hwa", "alert('No FILE has been selected');", true);
}
}
In this code, there is one fileUpload control that is being invoked on Button1_Click. Ideally it should execute the first line then A file Upload control should be shown and after selecting a file or canceling the dialog, flow should go to next line. But dialog is showing up after full function execution finishes.
Because of this asynchronous or not expected execution flow if (this.fileupload.HasFile) is returning false(because user has not been asked to select any file yet) and I am not getting the selected file name.
Can we modify this code to achieve file upload in single step? Or if any other way is possible to do this?
Note- I have asked not to use window forms and Threads. So solution by using these two is not acceptable.

You are missing the fact there is a client side/server side disconnect in the web environment.
Your line: ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript (GetType(),"hwa","document.getElementById('fileupload').click();", true); is client side code and will not be executed until the serverside script is comleted and the resulting HTML/javascript/CSS returned to the browser as it is client side javascript. YOu want to be leveraging the onchange event of the file upload control.
The question should help you out: ASP.NET FileUpload: how to automatically post back once a file is selected?

this is not exactly what you are looking for but it does what you want. difference is that instead of clicking a separate button you have to click the Browse button. and when you press the Open button, the page will postback. I have used JQuery for this. here's my code
ASPX
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileupload1" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btn" runat="server" OnClick="btn_Click" Text="upload" style="display:none" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var isfirst = true;
$(function () {
$('#<%= fileupload1.ClientID %>').on('change', function (e) {
console.log('change triggered');
$('#<%= btn.ClientID%>').trigger('click'); // trigger the btn button click which i have hidden using style='display:none'
});
});
</script>
</form>
</body>
Code behind
protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//TODO
}

For the ones who land here late,
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fu" runat="server" CssClass="bbbb" onchange="clickSeverControl()"/>
<asp:LinkButton Text="Upload" ID="lnkUpload" runat="server" OnClientClick="showUpload();return false;" OnClick="lnkUpload_Click"/>
</div>
hide the file control with css
<style>
.hiddenStyle {
visibility:hidden;
}
</style>
on client click event of link button trigger the click of file upload control
function showUpload() {
document.getElementById("fu").click();
}
on change event trigger the server side click
function clickSeverControl() {
__doPostBack('<%= lnkUpload.ClientID %>', 'OnClick');
}
on server click save the uploaded file
protected void lnkUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
fu.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/Upload") + "/" + fu.PostedFile.FileName);
}

Thanks for the other answer I have just combine two example and got the solution for my problem in my project
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileupload1" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnUploadBulk" runat="server" OnClick="btn_Click" Text="upload" style="display:none" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var isfirst = true;
$(function () {
$('#<%= btnUploadBulk.ClientID%>').on('click', function (e) {
showUpload();
})
});
function showUpload() {
var control = document.getElementById("<%= FileUploadControl.ClientID %>");
control.click();
}
</script>
</form>

This worked for me

Fancybox does not trigger when used in Master page

I want to display the search result in the Fancybox. The code works fine in the web form, but when i integrate with the master page, the fancy box is not opening. Please give me a solution!
I created two web forms, Default1.aspx and Default2.aspx
The code in the Default1.aspx is given below,
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<!-- Add jQuery library -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<!-- Add mousewheel plugin (this is optional) -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/fancybox/lib/jquery.mousewheel-3.0.6.pack.js"></script>
<!-- Add fancyBox -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/fancybox/source/jquery.fancybox.css?v=2.1.5" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/fancybox/source/jquery.fancybox.pack.js?v=2.1.5"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<script lang="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function (){
$('#fancybox').fancybox({
autoDimensions: false,
height: 400,
width: 700,
type: "iframe"
});
});
</script>
<a id="fancybox" runat="server" style=" visibility: hidden "></a>
<asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
**Default1.aspx.cs**
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
TextBox1.Text = Request.QueryString["cargoNo"];
}
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
fancybox.Attributes["href"] = "~/Default2.aspx?cargoNo=" + TextBox1.Text.Trim();
Literal1.Text = "<script> $(document).ready(function() {$(\"#fancybox\").trigger('click');});</script>";
clear();
}
public void clear()
{
TextBox1.Text = "";
}
}
In the Default2.aspx I added a Sql Datasource and used Gridview to display it.
When you enter the number in the text box and click button1. the serach will initiate and display the result in the fancybox. The above code is working great.
When i added this to the Master page the Fancybox is not triggering. Twhen button is clicked, the page just refresh. All replies are appreciated. I am new to asp.net. Please help me to solve this problem.
First of all, make sure You don't call a Jquery source in your Master Page, because I see you are calling Jquery on your Default1.aspx, since Jquery should be load once. Second, if you don't want your button make a Postback, add this to your button: UseSubmitBehavior="False". Hope this help

One step process file upload

When a user wants to upload a file (currently there are 4 places in the form that allow for this), they first have to “Choose File” and then they have to click on “Upload”. If they miss the 2nd "Upload" step, there is no indication to them or us.
Is there a way to combine the “two-step” process to a single step (select and upload).
Use this link to know more about it
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/2b481f/uploading-a-file-in-Asp-Net-web-api/
And you can also use this code
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileupload1" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btn" runat="server" OnClick="btn_Click" Text="upload" style="display:none" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var isfirst = true;
$(function () {
$('#<%= fileupload1.ClientID %>').on('change', function (e) {
console.log('change triggered');
$('#<%= btn.ClientID%>').trigger('click'); // trigger the btn button click which i have hidden using style='display:none'
});
});
</script>
</form>

updating variable from within update panel

im trying to update a variable from within an update panel:
<script type="text/javascript">
var v = 1;
</script>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnDone" runat="server" Text="Done" onclick="btnDone_Click" />
<asp:Literal ID="litnew" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<script type="text/javascript">
function updateint() {
alert(v);
}
</script>
<input type="button" onclick="updateint()" />
code behind
protected void btnDone_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string kiss = LipImageCreator.createImage(); //this returns a file path
litnewlipsurl.Text = "<script> v = '" + kiss + "'; </script>");
}
if i click the button run the updateint() function before i hit the btnDone button i get the alert saying '1' as expected. after i click the btnDone button the javascript is written to the literal as expected but when i click the updateint() button again i still get '1' and not the filepath i was expecting....
You must use ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript() to get the ajax handler to run your script when the postback completes.

OnClick and OnClientClick

I have an image button on a pop up page which is opened by another page
<asp:ImageButton
ID="Button_kalem_islemikaydet"
runat="server"
CausesValidation="False"
ImageUrl="~/images/butonlar/buyuk/Kaydet.jpg"
meta:resourcekey="Button_kalem_islemikaydetResource1"
OnClick="Button_ust_islemikaydet_Click"
OnClientClick="f2()"
Width="100" />
f2() is
<script type="text/javascript">
function f2() {
opener.document.getElementById("TextBox1").value = "hello world";
opener.document.getElementById("HiddenField1").value = "hello world";
window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;
}
</script>
And Button_ust_islemikaydet_Click is another method implemented in aspx.cs file and it updates the database tables which are shown in the parent page in a GridView.
What I am trying to do is to doPostBack I mean refresh the opener(parent) page.And with these above codes refresh is working.However, parent page still shows the same data before the refresh.And the reason is that OnClientClick works before OnClick method
So my question is that is there any way I can run the method on OnClick and finish it and then run the OnClientClick method?
<form id="aspnetForm" runat="server">
<asp:Button Text="Click Me" ID="ClickMeButton" OnClick="ClickMeButton_OnClick" runat="server" />
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="UpdateOpenerHiddenField" Value="false" />
<script type="text/javascript">
//1st approach
var updateOpenerField = window.document.getElementById("<%= UpdateOpenerHiddenField.ClientID %>");
if (updateOpenerField.value === "true") {
f2();
updateOpenerField.value = "false";
}
// for the 2nd approach just do nothing
function f2() {
alert("Hello, opener!");
}
</script>
</form>
protected void ClickMeButton_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//1st approach
UpdateOpenerHiddenField.Value = "true";
// 2nd approach
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "RefreshOpener", "f2();", true);
}
No, you can't run server side code (OnClick event handler) before client side. OnCLientClick event was added to perform some validation before post back. There is only one way to do it - update the f2 method and post data on server via ajax
You can put your javascript inside a PlaceHolder tag which you make visible in your server-side OnClick handler.
aspx code:
<asp:PlaceHolder id="refreshScript" visible="false" runat="server">
window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;
window.close();
</asp:PlaceHolder
cs code:
protected void button_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
// do whatever
refreshScript.Visible = true;
}

doPostBack from C# with JavaScript

hi I have one parent page which opens a pop up window, and user makes some changes on child pop up page then clicks a save button.
When the user clicks the save button, I want to doPostBack to the parent page so that the changes made in the pop up window can be seen in parent window.
Question : How can I achive the above scenario?
I want to write the script code in aspx.cs file, I tried
string script = "";
script = "<script>window.opener.__doPostBack('UpdatePanel1', '')</script>";
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Literal1, typeof(Literal), "yenile", script, true);
but this did not do anything, no errors just nothing.
I am new to JavaScript, need help with all steps.
The parent page:
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<div>
<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="ChildWindowResult" />
</div>
<hr />
<input type="button" value="Open Dialog" onclick="window.open('MyDialog.aspx', 'Dialog');" />
<asp:Button ID="HiddenButtonForChildPostback" runat="server"
OnClick="OnChildPostbackOccured" style="display: none;" />
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="PopupWindowResult"/>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
The MyDialog page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function postData() {
var resultField = $("input[type='hidden'][id$='PopupWindowResult']", window.opener.document);
var parentPosDataButton = $("[id$='HiddenButtonForChildPostback']", window.opener.document);
resultField.val($("#<%= SomeValueHiddenField.ClientID %>").val());
parentPosDataButton.click();
}
</script>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="SomeValueHiddenField" />
<asp:Button runat="server" OnClick="PostData" Text="Click Me" />
protected void PostData(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SomeValueHiddenField.Value = DateTime.Now.ToString();
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "PostData", "postData();", true);
}
But I believe that it would be much better to utilize here some pop-up controls like PopUpExtender from the AjaxControlToolkit library or dialog from the jQuery-UI.
You probably need to use ClientID:
string script = "";
script = "<script>window.opener.__doPostBack('" + UpdatePanel1.ClientID + "', '')</script>";
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Literal1, typeof(Literal), "yenile", script, true);
The last parameter is to whether include script tag or not
So, if you do
RegisterClientScriptBlock(page,type, "<script>foo();</script>", true);
You will end up with:
"<script><script>foo();</script></script>"
So, change your last parameter to false, or better yet, remove the tags in the string
