The Value of RadUpload does not Persist

RadUpload has been replaced by RadAsyncUpload, Telerik’s next-generation ASP.NET upload component. If you are considering Telerik’s Upload control for new development, check out the documentation of RadAsyncUpload or the control’s product page. If you are already using RadUpload in your projects, you may be interested in reading how easy the transition to RadAsyncUpload is and how you can benefit from it in this blog post. The official support for RadUpload has been discontinued in June 2013 (Q2’13), although it is still be available in the suite. We deeply believe that RadAsyncUpload can better serve your upload needs and we kindly ask you to transition to it to make sure you take advantage of its support and the new features we constantly add to it.

SYMPTOMS

When you make a postback, RadUpload does not persist the selected files in its file inputs.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the <input type=file> HTML elements do not persist their value between postbacks.

RESOLUTION

There is no resolution, this behavior is forced by the security restrictions of the browsers.
