About the NeatUpload ASP.NET Component

The NeatUpload ASP.NET component allows  developers to stream uploaded files to storage (filesystem or database) and allows users to monitor upload progress. It is open source and works under Mono's XSP/mod_mono as well as Microsoft's ASP.NET implementation. It features 2 custom controls:  InputFile allows the user to select a file to upload, and ProgressBar displays the upload progress either inline or in a popup. ProgressBar uses AJAX-style refreshless updates on modern browsers when JavaScript is available, but also allows users without JavaScript to see upload progress.
Features

• Streams uploads directly to storage.  This conserves server memory, allows larger uploads, and helps prevent Denial of Service attacks.
• Integrates easily with existing applications.  Drag-and-drop the controls using the Visual Studios Web Forms Designer, or replace <HtmlInputFile> with <NeatUpload:InputFile> and add a <NeatUpload:ProgressBar> to your ASP.NET pages.  Then use the properties of InputFile to access the uploaded file and its original name.
• Supports both inline and popup progress bars.
• Falls back to using ASP.NET's HttpPostedFile if the NeatUpload HttpModule is not present.  This makes it easy to remove the HttpModule if for some reason it causes problems.
• Supports customization through styles, custom progress display pages, and custom UploadStorageProviders.
• Supports AJAX-style refreshless updates of the progress bar.
• Does not require JavaScript.
• Works under Mono's XSP/mod_mono and Microsoft's ASP.NET.
• Removes uploaded files when an error occurs.  This helps prevent disk space leakage.
• Licensed under the Lesser General Public License (LGPL), a business-friendly open source license.  See below for details.
