FileManager for ASP.NET MVC - How to allow users to overwrite an existing file

The File Manager control prevents users from uploading files that already exist on the server. This example demonstrates how to show a conformation dialog that allows users to overwrite an existing file or cancel the upload operation.

Before the control starts uploading a file, the handler of the client-side FileUploading event checks whether a file with the same name exists on the server. If the server contains the file, a confirmation dialog appears and allows the user to overwrite the file or cancel the upload operation. The hander saves the user choice in a hidden input element.

The handler of the server-side FileUploading event obtains the hidden element's value. If the user chose to overwrite the file, the handler deletes the existing file and starts the upload operation.
