How to get back input text value after refresh

[bridgeway04]

I have an upload form with two Check Boxes on it, that when clicked enable two text boxes. This is working fine but the problem that I am having is that when the page refreshes after the click event the upload file input field at the top of the form gets cleared.

How can I save the input field so that it is saved after a page refresh?

Thanks,

Brad

Is this a Web or Win project?

It's a Web project developed in Visual Basic .Net 2003.

I am afraid you cannot change the text property but you can create a own fileupload control using Javascript to arise the File Select dialog.

Could I use something like this to save the input value?

Public Class UploadPCL
    Inherits System.Web.UI.WebControls.HtmlInputFile
    
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        
    End Sub
    
    Protected Sub ChkHaltPage_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        UploadPCL.SaveAs(UploadPCL.FileName)
    End Sub
End Class

As mentioned, i am afraid you can't achieve that with the standard FileUpload control. It seems to always reset the text after postback.

In addition The SaveAs method is configured to require a rooted path, and the path UploadPCL.FileName is not rooted so you will get an error if you try that code
