First time implementing telerik RadUpload control - asp.net

Question

I am implementing telerik RadUpload in my asp.net web application.I added corresponding the handler and module entries in web.config.
<add path="Telerik.RadUploadProgressHandler.ashx"
type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadUploadProgressHandler" verb="*" validate="false" />
<add name="RadUploadModule"
type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadUploadHttpModule" />
I have a functionality where I need to upload excel file and need to see the progress bar while uploading until it completes 100%.
PROBLEM: I am wondering how to capture the percentage of file uploaded and show it in progressarea.
MY CODE (Button_Click):
Const total As Integer = 100
Dim progress As RadProgressContext = RadProgressContext.Current
progress.Speed = "N/A"
Dim files As UploadedFileCollection = RadUpload1.UploadedFiles
Dim up As RadUpload = RadUpload1
If files IsNot Nothing AndAlso 0 <> files.Count Then
For i As Integer = 0 To total - 1
progress("SecondaryTotal") = total.ToString()
progress("SecondaryValue") = i.ToString()
progress("SecondaryPercent") = i.ToString()
progress("CurrentOperationText") = files(0).GetName() & " is being processed..."
If Not Response.IsClientConnected Then
Exit For
End If
progress.TimeEstimated = (total - i) * 100
---------ACTUAL UPLOAD FUNCTIONALITY HERE----------
objUpload.CreateBulkUploadRequest(bytes)
Next
End If
Private Sub CreateBulkUploadRequest(bytes)
StoreDocumentinImageServer(bytes)
End Sub
Public Function StoreDocumentinImageServer(ByVal PostData As Byte()) As Integer
Try
Dim req As HttpWebRequest
Dim resp As HttpWebResponse
Dim postStream As Stream
Dim respStream As StreamReader
Dim Url As String
Dim response As String = String.Empty
Dim ImageId As Integer = 0
Dim qryString As New StringBuilder("?fileSize=")
qryString.Append(PostData.Length)
qryString.Append("&userId=" + RequestedBy.ToString)
qryString.Append("&applicationName=" + RequestType.ToString)
qryString.Append("&imageName=" + FileName)
qryString.Append("&mode=Insert")
Url = ImageServiceUrl + qryString.ToString
req = CType(WebRequest.Create(Url), HttpWebRequest)
req.Method = "POST"
req.ContentType = contenttype
req.KeepAlive = True
req.ContentLength = PostData.Length
postStream = req.GetRequestStream()
postStream.Write(PostData, 0, PostData.Length)
resp = CType(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
respStream = New StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.Default)
response = respStream.ReadToEnd()
respStream.Close()
resp.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
End Try
End Function
PROBLEM---- Now CreateBulkUploadRequest() method is Synchronous , it will take 10 min to upload and finally come out of the method execution. Now mean while how would I update the progress area and percentage of file upload status.
My biggest problem is CreateBulkUploadRequest() is in the loop of progress bar update code.
so it calls as many times it is trying to update the progress area.
AM I DOING CORRECT ????????
Please Let me know If my question is not clear.
Looking forward for any suggestions.

Answer 1

You don't have to handle the display of progress information yourself, it should be done automatically. Have a look at this sample code.

Answer 2

If you are just using the RadUpload and progress area to check the uploaded % then you do not need any additional code in the code-behind. The code (markup) mentioned in this demo should suffice.
However, If you want some custom progress monitoring, which it seems that you are doing with the code provided, you will need to go about this slightly differently. This demo covers just how custom progress monitoring should be implemented. I would double check that the code that you have implemented aligns with the sample in that demo.
