I have a nice little file upload control I wrote for ASP.NET webforms that utilizes an IFrame and ASP.NET AJAX.
However, on large uploads, the browser times out before it can finish posting the form.
Is there a way I can increase this?
I'm not really interesting in alternative solutions, so don't suggest changing the entire thing out please. It works good for <5 meg uploads, I'd just like to get it up to about 8mb.
EDIT: Setting the timeout in Page_Load didn't appear to change anything.
You need to update a metabase setting on IIS6 and later. The key is " AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed" and is expressed in bytes. I highly recommend the Metabase Explorer to make the change, wading through the XML at %systemroot%\system32\inetserv\metabase.xml is possible though.

Hmmm, perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree... you wouldn't be doing 5 MB files if that wasn't already adjusted.
Another stab at it: see your web.config:
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10240" executionTimeout="360"/>
</system.web>
Max request length is in kilobytes and execution timeout is in seconds.
Place this in your web.config
<system.web>
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="360" maxRequestLength="100000" />
That enables a 360 second timeout and 100,000 Kb of upload data at a time.
If that doesn't work, run this command on your IIS server. (replace [IISWebsitename])
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>appcmd set config "[IISWebsitename]" -section:requestFiltering -requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:100000000 -commitpath:apphost
That enables 100,000,000 bytes of upload data at a time.
In Page_Load, set Server.ScriptTimeout to a value that works for you. Measured in seconds I believe.
I think you may need to adjust the MaxRequestLength
Its in the Web.config I think by default its 4megs.
The following would allow ~10 meg file:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10240" />
Open your Web.config file, and just below the <system.web> tag, add the following tag:
<httpRuntime
executionTimeout="90"
maxRequestLength="4096"
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
minFreeThreads="8"
minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
appRequestQueueLimit="100"
enableVersionHeader="true"
/>
Now, just take a look at the maxRequestLength="4096" attribute of the <httpRuntime> tag. As you may have realized, all you need to do is change the value to some other value of your choice (8192 for 8 Mb, 16384 for 16 Mb, 65536 for 64 Mb, and so on...).
Check the code of Velodoc XP Edition. It includes an upload streaming module, a resumable download handler and ASP.NET upload controls based on ASP.NET Ajax extensions and it is all open source.

I solved this using PHP with HTML:
