Using Darren Johnstone's Large File Upload Lib

Question

Darren Johnstone wrote a comprehensive server control and library to upload large files with a progress bar in ASP.NET. I would like to use it with ASP.NET MVC, using a controller method to receive the file, and an Ajax controller method to drive the status bar.

I have studied the classes, but am having difficulty getting my mind around what the punch-in points are, and how it would be integrated into MVC.

Has anyone used this with MVC, withou using the server controls included with the library? If so, how? A simple code sample would be great.

NOTE: I am willing to use a different upload library if it is better, especially if it uses a jQuery library for the progress bar, but it must NOT require a flash/silverlight dependency, and it does need to be faithful to the MVC style of coding.

Answer 1

I have a demo MVC solution which uses an ASP.NET server control here. Not this control, but the idea is the same.

Answer 2

An MVC implementation using SignalR for upload progress reporting can be found here http://blog.appsoftware.com/post/2013/03/08/ASPNET-File-Uploader-with-SignalR-Progress-Bar-and-Extended-HTTP-Request-Processing
