Introduction

Many web applications such as content management systems, online communities, and photo albums require users to upload files using a browser. With PowerWEB File Upload for ASP.NET, adding sophisticated file upload functionality to your solution has been simplified. Your applications can also provide automatic, interactive upload progress reporting and give your end-users the ability to cancel uploads in progress.

PowerWEB File Upload uses advanced Ajax techniques to transfer files from browser to web server, while actually minimizing server memory footprint. Typical HTTP file upload processes in ASP.NET require files to be uploaded and stored in memory before being exposed to the page cycle. File Upload allows you to stream files to disk, memory, or an open Stream for advanced applications such as direct file upload to an FTP server. Additionally, File Upload controls can be styled with custom fonts and images to seamlessly blend into your web site design.
