About the NeatUpload™ ASP.NET Component


The NeatUpload ™ ASP.NET component allows  developers to stream uploaded files to storage (filesystem or database) and allows users to monitor upload progress. It is open source and works under Mono's XSP/mod_mono as well as Microsoft's ASP.NET implementation. It features 2 custom controls:  InputFile allows the user to select a file to upload, and ProgressBar displays the upload progress either inline or in a popup. ProgressBar uses AJAX-style refreshless updates on modern browsers when JavaScript is available, but also allows users without JavaScript to see upload progress.

Features

  • Streams uploads directly to storage.  This conserves server memory, allows larger uploads, and helps prevent Denial of Service attacks.
  • Integrates easily with existing applications.  Drag-and-drop the controls using the Visual Studios Web Forms Designer, or replace <HtmlInputFile> with <NeatUpload:InputFile> and add a <NeatUpload:ProgressBar> to your ASP.NET pages.  Then use the properties of InputFile
  • Supports both inline and popup progress bars.
  • Falls back to using ASP.NET's HttpPostedFile if the NeatUpload HttpModule is not present.  This makes it easy to remove the HttpModule
  • Supports customization through styles, custom progress display pages, and custom UploadStorageProviders.
  • Supports AJAX-style refreshless updates of the progress bar.
  • Does not require JavaScript.
  • Works under Mono's XSP/mod_mono and Microsoft's ASP.NET.
  • Removes uploaded files when an error occurs.  This helps prevent disk space leakage.
  • Licensed under the Lesser, a business-friendly open source license.  See below for details.
