Remarks

The ASPxUploadControl allows you to choose from three provided upload modes (Standard, Advanced, and Auto) using the UploadMode property.

  • In the Standard Mode, the uploaded file is sent to the server in one request and is cached in its entirety in server memory. In this mode, a file upload is initiated automatically on the next postback.
  • In the Advanced Mode, the uploaded file is sent to the server in small packets (one by one) and is saved in a temporary file in a specific server folder.

    Note

    The Advanced Mode requires the end-user browser to have HTML5, or the Silverlight plug-in (version 3 or later) installed in the browser. Refer to Advanced Upload Mode topic for more details.

  • In the Auto Mode, the ASPxUploadControl uses HTML5 technology (Advanced Upload Mode). If it is unavailable, the Silverlight technology (Advanced Upload Mode) is used. If Silverlight is unavailable, the upload control works in Standard Upload Mode.
