FileUp Object

The FileUp object is the principal object used for all of FileUp's functions including file upload, file download, and database manipulation.

To use any upload or download function in SoftArtisans FileUp, you must create an instance of the FileUp object.

To do this in ASP, use the built-in Server.CreateObject function.

<% Set fileUpload = Server.CreateObject("SoftArtisans.FileUp") %>

After that, all methods and properties are available to you.

In ASP.NET, you should include the SoftArtisans.Net namespace. It is also recommended that you declare an object for FileUp prior to a try...catch...finallycode block, and then, instatiate FileUp within the try section of the block. When FileUp is instantiated, pass it the context of the Request.

When you are finished using the FileUp object, you must remember to call Dispose() on the FileUp object in the finally section.
