Error In file upload using ASP.NET

[Shims]

I am using an asp.net page that allows an upload of plain text files to the server. Everything works great, except every time i want to upload a file over 5 megs, i get a "cannot display webpage" error. this is the code I am using:

Dim file As HttpPostedFile
       Dim dateinfo As String
       Dim root As String
       Dim strfilename As String

       dateinfo = "(" & DateTime.Now.Date.Month & "-" & DateTime.Now.Date.Day & "-" & DateTime.Now.Date.Year & ")" & " [hr" & DateTime.Now.Hour & " min" & DateTime.Now.Minute & " s" & DateTime.Now.Second & "]"
       Try
           MkDir("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WriteMe\" & Session("ClearanceCode"))
       Catch
       End Try
       root = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WriteMe\" & Session("ClearanceCode") & "\"
       strfilename = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WriteMe\" & Session("ClearanceCode") & "\" & dateinfo & ".txt"

       'check that a file has been uploaded 
       If Request.Files.Count <= 0 Then
       Else
           'get the file data 
           file = Request.Files.Get(0)
           'check thats its not too big 
           If file.ContentLength > 102400000 Then
           Else
               If file.ContentType <> "text/plain" Then
               Else
                   'save file 
                   file.SaveAs(strfilename)
               End If
           End If
       End If

I would change the IFs and add PostedFile to the Saveas

btw, do you really want to allow files of 100 Mb ?

If Request.Files.Count > 0 and  file.ContentLength < 102400000 and file.ContentType = "text/plain" Then
       file.PostedFile.SaveAs(strfilename)
end if

I can answer your question:

 

Search for "machine.conig" on your HD (my file is under "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\CONFIG\"

 

there is a line like this:

 

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="90" maxRequestLength="4096" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false" minFreeThreads="8" minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4" appRequestQueueLimit="100"/>

 

Change the "maxRequestLength" to a number you need. Standart this are 4MB (4096Byte)

 

The Timeout is in minutes...
