Recently I have got a requirement like, we want to have a file upload control where we want to upload a file and then on the button click we want to process something and during processing we want to show a progress icon so that user will be able to know something is happening.
We can easily use a Ajax Progress template but we are using a file upload control which always needs a postback to work properly, it will not work with asynchronous postback.
so every time you can check FileUpload1.HasFile, it will return false.
To achieve this we have to use the PostBackTrigger like below:
<Triggers>
<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID = "btnGenerate" />
</Triggers>
In the above case it will return true.
But the Progress icon will not work, to make this work we need to write a javascript function and need to call in the OnClientClick method of the button click.
Here is the full code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function showProgressforGenerate() {
var updateProgress = $get("<%= UpdateProgress1.ClientID %>");
updateProgress.style.display = "inline-block";
document.getElementById('loadingimg').style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('progressBackgroundFilter_UpdatePanel').innerHTML = '<asp:Image
ID="LoadImage" runat="server"
ImageUrl="../images/loading-1.gif"
/><br/><strong>Generating..</strong>';
}
Upload a File <asp:FileUpload ID="fUpload" runat="server" />
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upLoadProducts" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnGenerate" runat="server" Text="Generate" CssClass="buttonHPBlue" OnClick="btnGenerate_Click" OnClientClick="showProgressforGenerate()"/>
<asp:Button ID="btnCancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" CssClass="buttonHPGray" OnClick="btnCancel_Click" />
<asp:UpdateProgress ID="UpdateProgress1" runat="server" AssociatedUpdatePanelID="upLoadProducts" DynamicLayout="true">
<ProgressTemplate>
<div id="progressBackgroundFilter_UpdatePanel" >
</div>
<div id="processMessage_UpdatePanel">
<div id="loadingimg"> <img id="Img1" alt="progress" runat="server" src="../images/loading-1.gif" /></div></div>
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
</ContentTemplate>
<Triggers>
<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID = "btnCancel" />
<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID = "btnGenerate" />
</Triggers>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
