Hi,

I am looking for a multiple file uploader by which I can select(CTRL+mouse click in File browse window) and upload multiple files without postback. I don't want to use any flash component(like SWF uploader) for it. I came to know that with normal Ajax request we can't upload files and we have to fake it through an iframe. Could you please guide me some resource which could lead me to implement it.

A: 

After some considerable pain I settled on this - http://ajaxuploader.com/ (NOT FREE)

It can use flash, silverlight or iframe + javascript (at the coders discretion). I really wouldn't want to try to implement this myself, from what I can tell there are several edge cases with varying browers etc. etc.

That said, this was a year ago. Maybe there is something free out there now...

Christopher, I need to do file uploads without post back (no update panel too), that uploader does not provide that feature.

Hmmm... It only uses a postback inside the hidden iframe, you can't upload files without postback with pure javascript. The user sees no postback as such, try this http://ajaxuploader.com/demo/select-multiple-files-upload.aspx

You can check http://www.plupload.com/. Honestly, I tried it some time ago and for some reason I decided to not use it. I wish I could remember why, I think I couldn't make the HTML4 upload work.
