Unable to upload file on server

[paras]

I am using File Upload Control to upload file on server. If size of
the file exceeds maxRequestLength property in httpRuntime section of
my configuration file, then DNS error is thrown. how can i restrict
the user from selecting a file of specific size.

Best solution would be if i can restrict the user on client side. If
not possible, then how can i handle the DNS error on server?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you will have to rely on some funky javascript on client to block the submit
if the client is uploading a file bigger than xxxxx

there was a post a few weeks back... on a similar issue

check this line.. its got some javascript to open the file and check its
size...
