SWFUpload asp.net return new filename of uploaded files

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to implement SWFUpload for uploading images on my page. The file-path is stored in a table with a unique id as key and the file is store on the server with a new filename. I need the id or the filename to be returned so that I can access that information when I later-on need it. Is this possible and how is it done? Maybe i could update a asp:label?

I have the following code:

upload.aspx.cs (I haven't implemented the database saving yet as I want to know if this is possible first)

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            // Get the data
            HttpPostedFile postedfile = Request.Files["Filedata"];

            int n = 0;
            string fullPath;

            while (true) 
            {
                fullPath = Server.MapPath("Img\\") + n.ToString() + RemoveSpecialChars(postedfile.FileName);
                if (File.Exists(fullPath))
                {
                    n++;
                }
                else
                {
                    postedfile.SaveAs(fullPath);
                    break;
                }
            }

        }
        catch
        {
            // If any kind of error occurs return a 500 Internal Server error
            Response.StatusCode = 500;
            Response.Write("An error occured");
            Response.End();
        }
        finally
        {

            Response.End();
        }
    }

Answer 1

I found the solution: If i look inside handlers.js (provided by swfupload) I can catch whats is returned from the upload.aspx.cs

Inside upload.aspx.cs write:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            // Get the data
            HttpPostedFile postedfile = Request.Files["Filedata"];

            Response.Write((postedfile.FileName); //Returns filename to javascript

        }
        catch
        {
            // If any kind of error occurs return a 500 Internal Server error
            Response.StatusCode = 500;
            Response.Write("An error occured");
            Response.End();
        }
        finally
        {

            Response.End();
        }
    }
 }

Inside handler.js (downloaded from demo page) replace uploadSuccess with:

function uploadSuccess(file, serverData) {
try {

   alert(serverData); 

    addImage("thumbnail.aspx?id=" + serverData);

    var progress = new FileProgress(file, this.customSettings.upload_target);

    progress.setStatus("Thumbnail Created.");
    progress.toggleCancel(false);


} catch (ex) {
    this.debug(ex);
}
}
