(C# UWP/WinRT) Upload Files to a Web Server - Simplest Example

This is the simplest example for uploading some files to a web server. the BlockingUpload call is synchronous and returns when the upload is finished (or failed).

A server-side C# example showing how to receive an upload is located at C# ASP.NET Code to Receive Upload

Chilkat Universal Windows Platform (UWP) / WinRT Downloads Chilkat for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

Chilkat.Upload upload = new Chilkat.Upload();

// Specify the page (ASP, ASP.NET, Perl, Python, Ruby, CGI, etc)
// that will receive and process the HTTP Upload.
upload.Hostname = "www.mywebserver.com";
upload.Path = "/receiveUpload.aspx";

// Add one or more files to be uploaded.
upload.AddFileReference("file1","dude.gif");
upload.AddFileReference("file2","swordfish.xml");
upload.AddFileReference("file3","sample.doc");

// Do the upload.  The method returns when the upload
// is completed.
// This component also includes asynchronous upload capability,
// which is demonstrated in another example.
bool success = await upload.BlockingUploadAsync();
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(upload.LastErrorText);
}
else {
    Debug.WriteLine("Files uploaded!");
