    function onUploadControlValidationErrorOccured(s, e) {
        e.showAlert = false;
        var errorHtmlContentTemplate = "<div class=\"error-attention\">Attention!</div><br />" +
            "{0} files are invalid and will not be uploaded.<br /><br /> {1}" +
            "All files listed above have been removed from the selection.";

        var preparedErrorHtmlContent = errorHtmlContentTemplate
            .replace("{0}", e.invalidFiles.length)
            .replace("{1}", getDetailsErrorInfoHtml(e));

        popupControl.SetContentHtml(preparedErrorHtmlContent);
        popupControl.Show();
    }
    function getDetailsErrorInfoHtml(e) {
        var html = "";
        html += getDetailsErrorInfoHtmlByErrorType(e, ASPxClientUploadControlValidationErrorTypeConsts.MaxFileCountExceeded,
            "These files exceed the allowed file count (the maximum file count is {0}):<br /><ul>{1}</ul><br />",

            "Names of this files contain invalid characters ({0}):<br /><ul>{1}</ul><br />",

            filesHtml += "<li class=\"error-file\">" + fileText + "</li>";
        }
        return "<div class=\"error-detail\">" + message.replace("{0}", commonInfo).replace("{1}", filesHtml) + "</div>";
    }
    function getFilesInfoByErrorType(invalidFiles, errorType) {
        var filesInfo = [];
        for (var i = 0, len = invalidFiles.length; i < len; i++) {
            var fileInfo = invalidFiles[i];
            if (fileInfo.errorType == errorType)
                filesInfo.push(fileInfo);
