Two great new features now make the DevExpress ASP.NET Upload control easier to use in the v14.2 release: Drag and Drop and File List.

Drag and Drop

The DevExpress ASP.NET Upload Control now provides your end-users the ability to drag a file and drop it on to the Upload Control. The Upload control support drag-and-drop by providing the new built-in drop-zone that is displayed when you drag a file over the control area:

 
This feature allows end-users to drag files from the Windows Explorer window and drop them directly onto a control or one of external drop-zones associated with it.
 
Enable the new Drag and Drop feature by setting the EnableDragAndDrop property to True:
 
 
You can associate a custom HTML element with the Upload Control as an external drop-zone by using the ExternalDropZoneID property:
 
 
This allows you to specify an area different that the upload control as the drop target. And when a file is dropped into an external drop-zone, it is added to the control's current file selection:
 
 
This functionality helps you to simplify file-selection for end-users from different folders.
 

File List

The new ‘File List’ feature allows you to show a list of all files selected by an end-user in Upload Control before uploading files to the server.

And notice that there is a "Remove" button provided next to each file. This helps your end-user to remove a file from the selection easily:
 
A helpful progress bar is displayed when the file uploading process starts:
 
Enable the File List feature by setting the EnableFileList property:
 
 
So, this feature reduces the time spent by a user on the file selection and enhances the quality of the user experience with the control.

ASP.NET & MVC

Both the new features of the DevExpress ASP.NET Upload Control are available for ASP.NET WebForms and MVC platforms.
