From: DavidC on 15 Jan 2010 19:10 I have an asp.net intranet application that I need to upload 1 or all photos from a digital camera at a PC workstation. We are using DataGrids and GridViews to display them on the web once they are uploaded but need something at the client. I assume I need some sort of ActiveX process or something. Has anyone run into a solution for this need? Thanks. -- David

Assuming that the camera creates a virtual disk drive, you could use something like this: http://www.utechsoft.com/products/uupload/ However, this will still require the user to select the drive / folder initially to kick the process of - you have (next to) no chance of doing that step automatically... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net

This allows you to select a folder rather than an individual file, and then upload the entire contents of that folder with one single operation... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net

Being able to upload multiple files is really nice. For this application, the user wants to be able to view the camera images before uploading them. Apparently they have photos for multiple jobs and want to pick the ones appropriate for the job at hand. That is why I thought some ActiveX (ugh) control or something is needed. If the images are displayed as thumbnails, then I can allow them to select some and upload to a known destination which is different for each job. -- David |
