We can make the ASP.Net FileUpload control readonly by setting the ContentEditable property to false. <asp:FileUpload ID="fileUploadSri" ContentEditable="false" runat="server" /> The other way of achieving it by restricting users to type in any characters i.e. return false on key press, key up and on paste event to prevent users pasting any values directly. Refer the below code snippet that helps in doing that, fileUploadSri.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "return false;"); fileUploadSri.Attributes.Add("onkeyup", "return false;"); fileUploadSri.Attributes.Add("onpaste", "return false;");

By default, FileUpload control will not work inside an UpdatePanel control for uploading files using Asynchronous postback. This is because, the file uploading and file manipulations is restricted by default in client side for security reasons. Hence it is not possible to upload files using asynchronous postback in UpdatePanel. To upload files inside UpdatePanel control we need to rely upon a standard postback i.e. we need to set the button that is uploading the file to be PostBack trigger instead of AsyncPostBack trigger. This will initiate a normal postback whenever we click the upload button and it is possible to upload the file. Refer the below code for clear understanding, <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server"> <ContentTemplate> <asp:FileUpload ID="fuUpload" runat="server" /> <asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" OnClick="bt

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the water close to Japan has not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went further than ever. The further the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring the fish. If the return trip took more time, the fish were not fresh. To solve this problem, fish companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go further and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen fish. And they did not like the taste of frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price. So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, they were tired, dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste. The fishing industry faced an impending crisis! But today, they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan ..
