It seems there is no way for the file upload control to retain its value
after a post back. I have a fom with several buttons and if they populate
the file and then click any button on the form, they lose the file name -
have to re-enter it. Is there a way to make the control behave as if it has
ViewState enabled? Thanks.

I can understand the risk. Is there any other way to allow a user to upload
a file? This will be an internal application and the powers that be don't
like that part of the interface... Suggestions?

Hi Jerry,

This is not possible. If this becomes possible, it will be security issue/risk.

A pages/websites can then pull files from the client machine which his

consent. I can default a fileupload control to say C:\my
documents\mypersonaldata.txt and write script to post the form onload! The
result is that the site is able to access a file in the client system
without permission. It is for this reason that you can default a value in a
fileupload control or retain it after postback.
