File Upload Control for ASP.NET - A part of the ASPxperience Suite
Create single-file or multiple-file upload interfaces and visualize file upload progress.

The ASPxUploadControl allows you to introduce file upload functionality and UI to your web site with ease. Once you place this control onto a web page, end-users can specify a file to be uploaded by entering a path into the text box or by invoking the standard Open file dialog. Since multi-file upload is fully supported, the control can display several text boxes and corresponding Browse buttons. Using the control's validation settings, you can apply various restrictions - limit file size, specify allowed file extensions, etc. File upload operations can be initiated by clicking the built-in Upload button, by calling a specially designed client-side method or in response to a postback. While files are being uploaded, you are automatically notified of progress using the built-in Loading Progress Panel. There’s also a button allowing you to cancel the current upload operation. If necessary, you can substitute this built-in UI with custom controls. Once a file has been uploaded, a server-side event is raised, providing you with all the information and API necessary to save the file on the server.

DevExpress Core Framework for ASP.NET AJAX Controls
The entire DevExpress ASP.NET Product Line was built on top of a shared framework implementing numerous advanced features like callback-enabled processing, Client-side API, SharePoint Integration, Web Accessibility, cross-browser rendering and much more.
We chose the DevExpress ASPxperience Suite because we needed a robust, flexible and end-user friendly set of libraries for .Net RIA development against a constantly shifting set of business needs, that where still powerful enough to integrate with our other back office systems with minimal effort.
As a donor supported organisation, our IT strategies need to reflect a lean, knowledge based approach. So, while getting value for money is always a concern, portability and standardisation of code is also primary to ensure that we find the best development resources for each piece of work, and create a happy marriage between business users, analysts and developers. After years of experience building .Net applications, our IT staff knew the ASPxperience Suite was an obvious choice for rapid RIA development; with its powerful AJAX integration, Upload and Data View controls, all built on top of a standardised framework meant our code was not only portable between development teams but that it was easy to adopt, adapt and improve over time. We looked at open source libraries too, many of which were also very well equipped, but with the added value DevExpress offered in terms of reliability, service and customer support, as well as a strong eco system of developers we where ‘sold'. Our first project saw the ASPxperience Suite used as a foundation to build a RIA extension to our externally developed financial system and reporting tools. Our a small technical team worked closely with the external consultants on an extremely tight budget. As both teams knew the common framework and GUI controls that the ASPxperience Suite offered they were able to together seamlessly on very specific details using a set of tools that behaved and performed predictably. This meant that the tech, business and external teams could dynamically collaborate to try out different solutions together in a truly agile fashion; allowing them to pro-actively refine the system designs during the project's lifecycle. All together, the DevExpress suite really helped make the production process a success, with an on-budget solution and the ultimate result – very happy users! We are very pleased with our decision to use the DevExpress products and can highly recommend them and their fantastic support team.
