Batch File Upload
-
Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to perform a batch file upload. For example, the user clicks on browse and selected multiple files. A bit like we can do with WinForms OpenFileDialog. I didn't see that it is possible using the FileUpload control. Did I miss it? If not, is there another way of performing batch uploads? Thanks, Talal

I don't think it is possible to select multiple files with one FileUpload control but it is possible to use multiple FileUpload controls to select the files and then do a bulk upload. Check out this article: Upload multiple files using the HtmlInputFile control[^]

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I have seen this article. I can also use the Telerik FileUpload control where the user would be able to dynamically add as many files as he wants, but still this would be tedious as he would have to click "new" for each new file to upload (when you have like 100), whereas a batch selection would be easier for him. I kind of had a feeling that it would not be possible, but maybe someone has found a way :)
