Simple mode is the easiest mode Mediachase FileUploader supports and it the first required step in integrating FileUploader into your application.

In order to implement Mediachase FileUploader in simple mode you will need to do the following steps:

  • create a page that will allow to upload file(s)
  • add component reference to Mediachase FileUploader in your project
  • in .aspx file add following line at the very top
    <%@ Register TagPrefix="mc" Namespace="Mediachase.FileUploader.Web.UI" Assembly = "Mediachase.FileUploader" %>
  • change all the inputs with type=file to FileUploader object
    <INPUT … name="FileUp" type="file" … runat="server" ID="File1">
    replace with:
    <mc:McHtmlInputFile id="FileUp" runat="server" Size="50"></mc:McHtmlInputFile>
If you add McHtmlInputFile in Design mode, everything will be done automatically and you will only have to edit properties of the control.
