AsyncFileUpload only support InProc session mode

description

HI,
I just found that the control store the HttpPostedFile in the session but since the object is not serializable , it will throw an exception if the current session mode is Oout of process (like sqlserver or stateserver).

This has been fixed in release 40412, as part of the related workitem fix on WorkItemId 24834.

The issue was that the “control stores the HttpPostedFile in the session but since the object is not serializable , it will throw an exception if the current session mode is out of process“.
The fix is that by default we no longer store the file in the session. This is controlled by a new PersistFile property which is false by default, so in the default scenario, (i.e. when leaving the PersistFile property set to false) changing SessionState to not be inProc will no longer cause an exception.

Note that if you do need to persist the file, we still don't support persisting using out-of-proc session state.

Same problem here. It's unfortunate the guys have not catered/tested for this scenario...
Will have to use a alternative method, maybe get some hints from http://mattberseth.com/blog/2008/07/aspnet_file_upload_with_realti_1.html

Glad someone found this before I went to far trying to use this control. Our production environment uses out of process.

        if ((currentContext = GetCurrentContext()) != null)
        {
            var mode = currentContext.Session.Mode;
            if (mode != SessionStateMode.InProc) {

if NET4

                throw new InvalidOperationException(Resources_NET4.SessionStateOutOfProcessNotSupported);

else

                throw new InvalidOperationException(Resources.SessionStateOutOfProcessNotSupported);

endif

            }
            currentContext.Session.Add((GetFullID(controlId), fileUpload));
        }
