Now the concern is how can i put 2 upload controls in Xform (one for video file and other for its thumbnail image). Also is there any way to bind the dropdown list in Xforms with the appsettings values defined in Web.config Regards, Gurmeet Hi Fredrik,

Your article mostly explains this question right? When uploading file to a page, the page has to be physically existed first right? In my case, it's like put title, put test, upload a foto, then press the create button and create a page,so the upload foto is a step before the page is physically created, is it possible to do this? ok the trick will be put the upload code after the page creation code I guess? Normally, when end user uploading file is involved with a site, do we program a seperate unit or we do everything via Episerver's file manager? Is there any exiting units we can use directly or we have to program ourselve like ur blog says? when I got ur mail, I already did some tries, the problem now is, the file is surely uploaded to the vpp folder under the site, but it creates its own folder, and the Page File is actually empty, and then I create the folder from episerver editor mode and put a file then, physically, it creates another folder with the file in it, apparent that is the real page file folder, the one created by the code previously was wrong. so my question is how to create Page File folder and after uploading the file it could be accessed from Episerver’s file manager?

Obviously a little tricky to do that. I guess the only way is to impersonate a user with admin rights (that is a user that can access the EPiServer admin folder according to web.config) during that request. Change principal using PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal in a try-finally block and be careful to restore the original. Thanks!

I´ve added an upload function to xforms. The uploaded files are saved in a vpp folder and my thought was that they may want to remove everyones read rights on that folder. But that does not seem possible. GetUnifiedDirectory(folder); does not seem to have any way of bypassing the rights. by the way, thx for a great blog :) Hi Fredrik

I did not look at the documention for that class but it is not obsolete in the upcoming R2 release anyway... BypassAccessCheck property is read only on the VirtualPathProvider since it is configured from web.config but BypassAccessCheck can be read and written on UnifiedDirectory and UnifiedFile. /Fredrik Per, you should be able to use System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment directly with the same result.
