Strange empty square!

Hello

I have a Web page that allows a user to upload his files. When the upload has completed, a few lines of text appear that show the name of the file uploaded, its size, and where it has been uploaded to. These lines of text are in a border/box.

However, when you first go to the upload page - and before doing anything - you can see a small empty box on the form. It looks like this:



The code for the upload file looks like this:

Code:

ProtectedSub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpload.Click

If MyFileUpload.HasFile Then

Try

MyFileUpload.SaveAs("C:/Uploads/" & MyFileUpload.FileName)

Label5.Text = "File name: " & _

MyFileUpload.PostedFile.FileName & "<br>" & _

"File Size: " & _

MyFileUpload.PostedFile.ContentLength & "<br>" & _

"Content type: " & _

MyFileUpload.PostedFile.ContentType & "<br>" & _

"Location Saved: C:/Uploads/" & MyFileUpload.FileName

Catch ex AsException

Label4.Text = "ERROR: " & ex.Message.ToString()

EndTry

Else

Label3.Text = "You have not specified a file."

Label2.Visible = False

EndIf

EndSub

and Label5, which displays the details of the uploaded file, look like this in my aspx page:

Code:

<asp:LabelID="Label5" runat="server" Text="" CssClass="FileResult"></asp:Label><br/>

How can I make that empty square disappear, please, until it is complete with file data after the file has been uploaded?

Many thanks.

Hello Ray

Many thanks for your reply.

I have tried this:

Code:

Try

MyFileUpload.SaveAs("C:/Uploads/" & MyFileUpload.FileName)

Label5.Text = Visible = False

Label5.Text = "File name: " & _

MyFileUpload.PostedFile.FileName & "<br>" & _

"File Size: " & _

MyFileUpload.PostedFile.ContentLength & "<br>" & _

"Content type: " & _

MyFileUpload.PostedFile.ContentType & "<br>" & _

"Location Saved: C:/Uploads/" & MyFileUpload.FileName

Label5.Text = Visible = True

'Label5.Visible = True

Catch ex AsException

Label4.Text = "ERROR: " & ex.Message.ToString()

EndTry

but that white square is still there!

Thank you again.

 

Many thanks for that, Ray!

Enjoy your guitar!
