FileUpload, Wizard, and saving the dataHi;
I have a 2 page wizard and on page 0 I have a FileUpload control. In my OnNextButtonClick for page 0 I need to read in the file because that stream is gone when the user clicks Finish on page 1. What is the recomended way to do this? The best I have come up with is to read it in to a byte[] and attach that to the session. (I have session data stored on the server, not as hidden data on the client page.) I thought of saving it as a temp file - but how do I get the file deleted if they never click Finish or Cancel? I don't want a boatload of abondened files building up in the temp directory. Hi Dave,
Thank you for posting. As for the fileuploading during one of the wizard steps on page, based on my understanding, we have to persiste the file temporarly on the server-side. And currently the available options have: 1. temp file 2. Session State 3. Application Cache, 4. using temp db table in database(sqlserver) And using SessionState or Application Cache will consume the server process's memory and will hit performance when there is large requests on such pages. However, the advantage is that SessionState data will expire after session timeout. And for Application cache, we can set Timeout dependency so that the certain cache item will be expired and removed after a specified period. For temp file, the main problem is the temp folder cleaning up as you've mentioned. I think you can consider creating a background thread in the ASP.NET application which timely monitor the temp folder and delete those old/expired files. The rule to determine the expired files can depend on file attrubutes or your custom timestamp info embeded in the temp file's filename. Just some of my opinions. Hope this helps.

On using a temp file, is there an event that occurs when a session expires? If so, how can I get that event? I could then delete on expiration. I worry about using another thread because there is no way to know if a temp file is truly no longer in use. I could set a real long value, like 8 hours - but then I have lots of files sitting there that should be deleted already.

As for SessionState, there does exists an built-in Session OnEnd event which is triggered when a certain session is abandoned or expired. #Session-State Events http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178583.aspx However, this event is only working for In-proc mode session , and there has some particular conditions that this event won't fire. Here is an ASP.NET faq article whicn has mentioned these things: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20021016.asp Hope this helps.
