# ASP.NET HtmlInputFile Control

## Definition and Usage

The HtmlInputFile control is used to control an <input type="file"> element. In HTML, this element is used to upload a file to the server.

## Properties

Property | Description
--- | ---
Accept | List of acceptable MIME types
Attributes | Returns all attribute name and value pairs of the element
Disabled | A Boolean value that indicates whether or not the control should be disabled. Default is false
id | A unique id for the element

Style | Sets or returns the CSS properties that are applied to the control
TagName | Returns the element tag name
Type | The type of the element

Visible | A Boolean value that indicates whether or not the control should be visible

### Example 1

In the following example we declare one HtmlInputFile control, one HtmlInputButton control, and three HtmlGeneric controls in an .aspx file (remember to embed the controls inside an HtmlForm control). When the submit button is triggered, the submit subroutine is executed. The file name and file type are displayed on the page, while the file itself is uploaded to the c directory on the server:

    <script runat="server">
    Sub submit(Sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
      fname.InnerHtml=MyFile.PostedFile.FileName
      clength.InnerHtml=MyFile.PostedFile.ContentLength
      MyFile.PostedFile.SaveAs("c:\uploadfile.txt")
    End Sub
    </script>

    <html>
    <body>

    <form method="post"
    enctype="multipart/form-data" runat="server">
    <p>
    Select file to upload to server:
    <input id="MyFile" type="file" size="40" runat="server">
    </p>
    <p>
    <input type="submit" value="Upload!" OnServerclick="submit"
    runat="server">
    </p>
    <p>
    <div runat="server">
      FileName: <span id="fname" runat="server"/><br />
      ContentLength: <span id="clength" runat="server"/> bytes
    </div>
    </p>
    </form>

    </body>
    </html>
