fileupload

I have a webpage where the user can upload an excel file. I'm trying 2 different files - one works without a problem, and the other one gives me this error:

Error: Length cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: length

I know that sometimes this occurs when the file size is zero, but that is not the case here.

Can anyon shed light on this issue? Please let me know if you need more info.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
