Hello,

How do I handle a user uploading a file from the browser that exceeds the
limit set by
web or machine config files
global.asax or handlers or module

How can I return to the same upload page with some error to the user

Thanks

SAM

The only thing I know of is in the application's error event
(Application_Error method in global.asax), you should be able to check
Server.GetLastError().InnerException it should be of type HttpException
with a message "Maximum request length exceeded"... you could check for
that particular error, clear the error (server.ClearError()) and redirect
back to the input page with a value in the querystring to indicate the
error.

I think at the pt of the application error event, there would be no page
request to speak of, so I don't think you would be able to do this.

I quickly tested it before suggesting it and it seemed to be working...

Thank you all for your response.

It seems that I can not redirect,
It is not working for me
There is no page to response
I don't even get my custom error page.... which I don't really want any
way, but just tired it.

Thanks
