There appears to be a curious situation that makes the upload control fail. I created a new mvc.net web site using Visual Studio 2010 which gave me a default web site complete with login ability and two pages; home and index.

I proceed to modify the Index page for the home controller to incorporate the igUpload control as per the samples in the documentation and that found on this link

http://blogs.infragistics.com/blogs/damyan_petev/archive/2011/09/03/using-netadvantage-jquery-upload-control-in-asp-net-mvc.aspx

Finally I published this to an application within the Default website on my Windows7 PC.

When I navigated to the web site's url as follows

http://mymachine/myuploadtest

the page would render with the upload control shown. When I pressed the upload button and selected a file I got the error; "AJAX error while trying to get the file size."

Using the tool Fiddler I discovered that the URL the control was trying to browse was incorrect; below is the URL it was trying to hit.

http://mymachine/ig_fua34sf345sdf13sdf3454erdsf2345asd3425df5235d54df345.aspx?key=psMXpct6PVoGCccu8XX4vsscqxVeNN&command=fileSize

Looking at this URL it is wrong because it should have added to the path "myuploadtest" following the machine name; instead it was trying to browse a URL directly on the machine.

HOWEVER, if I browsed to the web site using the same URL as before but this time ending the URL with a forward slash as follows;

http://mymachine/myuploadtest/

Then everything works fine and again using Fiddler I can see that the correct URL is browsed.

I was using the product version 2011.1

This is worrying for I won't be able to control how a user navigates to the site and if anything it is the exception to end URLs for a forward slash.

The is a sense of urgency for I need to decide in the next week whether to proceed with Infragistics or another product. Can you please advise.

Cheers.
