RE: FileUpload Control on Mobile Form

Hi Woodgnome,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, a standard html based ASP.NET page will save much effort. Anyway, I'm
still doing some further research on this and will inform you if I get any
new information helpful.

Steven,

Thanks for the reply. The initial target devices are HTML enabled - but
the
intention was to make the pages available to more devices at a later date.
I will investigate using a standard asp.net page for now.

Thanks.
Woodgnome.

Hi Woodgnome,

Regarding on the ASP.NET mobile page fileuploading issue, I've performed
some local tests and did found the same behavior as you mentioned. It
seems
the Mobile Form doesn't allow us to insert our custom attributes into
it
like a standard htmlForm control. I've also tried manually add the
"enctype="multipart/form-data" " attribute into the mobile form and it
was
also ignored and runtime. BTW, for mobile devices, I notice that few
WAP
or xhtml mp devices support file upload element,

http://www.developershome.com/wap/wapUpload/wap_upload.asp?page=intro

so are your web application's target devices HTML enabled? If so, maybe
you can consider use a standard ASP.NET page(not mobile page) to serve
the
fileupload functionality(since only a simple screen with some text and
file
upload html element are necessary), how do you think?

Anyway, I'll also help you consult some other mobile engineers to see
whether there is anything else we can do here, I'll inform you as soon
as I
get any update.

Hi,

I am trying to provide the user with a file upload facility on mobile
devices that will support it. So I have tried using the FileUpload
control
in
a device specific section - as follows, but when the form posts back,
the
HasFile proerty is always set to false and the file is nowhere to be
seen.

It would appear that it may be something to do with the fact that the
form
is
rendering without enctype="multipart/form-data" on the form tag. Anyone
any
ideas how I might get this to work ?

<mobile:Form ID="NewForm" runat="server" Title="New Form">

<mobile:DeviceSpecific ID="DeviceSpecific1" Runat="Server">
<Choice>
<FooterTemplate>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileUpload1"
runat="server"></asp:FileUpload>
</br>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileUpload2"
runat="server"></asp:FileUpload>
</br>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileUpload3"
runat="server"></asp:FileUpload>
</td>
</tr>
</FooterTemplate>
</Choice>
</mobile:DeviceSpecific>

......
