So, I finally caught up with all of my e-mails after my 3 week holiday ;) I'm glad to see that everything worked out ;) If you have any more trouble, please don't hesitate to contact me ;) "My personality is not represented by my hometown."

Thanks. I will try that, even though I am not sure it would work. You see, the problem I have is that Javascript is already running to upload the file and I have an Ajax timer set to postback every 6 sec (just for testing now). As soon as the upload starts, the timer stops working. So I suspect that only one Javascript code (or whatever) is executed and we cannot have multiple "threads" in Javascript executing at the same time. But I will try out your solution, maybe it would work since the javascript code (in the page) is executed once. I hope it would work :) Thank you -- If this is a post that has been helpful to you, please vote for it. Thank you!

You would get the same issue with a JPG or GIF image, or Word doc or whatever... if you want to protect such files you must tell the webserver to handle requests for them, and build your own HttpHandler to deal with them. Try Googling something along the lines of "httphandler protect files"... however, you will need access to the webserver as well (or at least get the server admin people to configure IIS as needed.) The webserver needs to be told which types of files to let .NET deal with and which to just farm out when requeted - by default it will deal with .aspx pages and the like, but not .swf etc...

Thanks, I have checked it out. Unfortunately it seems that this method is not able to chage the encoding through web.config as specified by this page: http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/4.1.aspx[^] It seems I will have to release a fix to the application anyway since another bug has to be fixed as well. but thanks anyway :) -- If this is a post that has been helpful to you, please vote for it.

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 :) -- If this is a post that has been helpful to you, please vote for it. Thank you!

Glad to know it worked All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia My Website | Ask smart questions

Thanks, I was thinking the second one too, but thought first will be good. Anyway nice comparison. My Website | Ask smart questions

Ok I found the problem. In the beginning I was loading the user control statically in the web form and then when I wanted to try to load it dynamically, I commented the line where I call it. This resulted in the comment tags to appear in the html code, I have no idea why actually. Anyway, I removed the comment completely and now the page loads without javascript errors and when i click the button in the user control, the required field validator of my textbox works. Now I have another issue related to the field validators, I'm not sure if I should created a new thread for it or not. In that same page with the user control, I have 1 textbox in the webform and 1 textbox in the user control, both have required field validators attached to them. I also have two buttons, one in the web form and one in the user control. My problem is that when i click the button inside the user control, the field validator of the textbox located in the web form activates. My question: is there a way to have some kind of scope for the button? I would like only the field validator of the user control to activate when i click the button inside the user control. Is there a way to accomplish such a thing? Thanks. Talal -- If this is a post that has been helpful to you, please vote for it. Thank you!

All you really needed to download was this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=10CC340B-F857-4A14-83F5-25634C3BF043&displaylang=en[^] which then pulls down and installs the other bits it needs - just tens of MB. Then, as described below, download and install the additional extensions. WCF and WPF are still in CTP. However, you can probably still do useful work without them, at least for WCF. Kevin

hi, thanks for the quick reply. well as a matter of fact, I'm calling it asynchronously, I am using the event p.Exited += new EventHandler(Ended) to perform some processing once the command line process has terminated.
