Question

I want to upload a file from codebehind.

I would like to explain my situation a bit.

My existing code is..

I have a fileupload control.

<asp:FileUpload ID="fuSRForm" runat="server" class="file"/>

Then from the codebehind, I check the conditions for that control.

if (fuSRForm.HasFile && (fuSRForm.PostedFile.ContentType.ToString().Trim().ToLower().Contains("pdf") || fuSRForm.PostedFile.ContentType.ToString().Trim().ToLower().Contains("application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document") || fuSRForm.PostedFile.ContentType.ToString().Trim().ToLower().Contains("msword")))

And if the conditions are met,

I used the Sitecore API to upload the file.

This is the part of uploading API.

                        // creating necessary arguments to be passed to the processor
                        UploadArgs args = new UploadArgs();

                        // adding http files collection
                        args.Files = base.Request.Files;

So, the API is grabbing all posted files by using base.Request.Files

---

My new situation is that I creat a pdf file when the user click Submit.

Then I save it in a folder named asyncupload

After that I have to upload it to Sitecore using the same API

So, I tried to change the base.Request.Files to my file.

But I am unable to change that.

So, I will have to upload my file using FileUpload control.

            FileUpload tempFU = new FileUpload();
            tempFU.PostedFile= ????
            args.Files = base.Request.Files;

I am stuck right here. I can either post my file from code behind or change the base.Request.Files to my file.

either way, I am stuck. Anyone can solve that?

I’m not sure what your end goal here is. Maybe you could post some more code if I’ve understood you incorrectly. But here’s how to add a file to the Media Library: Brian Pedersen: Adding a file to the Sitecore Media Library programatically

If you are using an <asp:FileUpload /> control, then you can save the file to server disk like this:

string filePath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/"), "upload/tempfile.tmp");
FileUpload1.SaveAs(filePath);

Then call the AddFile method from the link I provided above:

AddFile(filePath);
