NeatUpload - File Upload Open Source Library

NeatUpload is a very nice open source ASP.NET component which allow you to make file uploads to file system or database storage with customized AJAX-like progress bar indicators. The library is made in .NET and it works under Mono's XSP/mod_mono or Microsoft's ASP.NET implementation. You can easily download the source code and even modify it to match the required behavior of your project.

The library features 2 custom web controls: InputFile allows the user to select a file to upload, and ProgressBar displays the upload progress either inline or in a popup. ProgressBar uses AJAX-style refreshless updates on modern browsers when JavaScript is available, but also allows users without JavaScript to see upload progress. HttpModule is included as well to get the upload progress and handle the upload context states.

AutoCompleteExtender Problem

IMPORTANT NOTE: This problem was found when I was working with AJAX RC1.

Recently, I tried to add an AutoCompleteExtender for each item in a repeater (which itself is inside an UpdatePanel). In each item, I added also Edit/Update links, textbox and AutoCompleteExtender. Here is the HTML view

However, it seems that TargetControlID property is not affected when the autocomplete set inside the repeater/updatepanel (Actually, don't know which one is the reason). But what I did is to set the TaregtControlID property of the extender in runtime, when the user trying to edit a certain item.




That is all!
