What is this application and how to even start to create like this ? 1

I have working knowledge of vb6 and c#

Please go to

sign in using

aldenviv@gmail.com / 123456

Please click on "add pictures"

Create a album "My first album"

Then click on "Next"

and again please click on "choose pictures"

Now You will find an excellent multiple file upload application

Is this activex ? If so why no warnings came up in my browser etc since if it is activex normally we get a

browser warning saying that the application is dangerous to open etc

Nor did I get any java applet warnings too ?

Nor is it flash ?

So really how they have done it ?

Should this be done using C# or vb6 ?

How can I learn more about creating something like this which ties up with Internet explorer so neatly ?

So what is this application ? and can I find any sample code for STARTING to create an application like this

?

I know this is a complicated large application. All I want to know is how to start creating such an application?

Please advise any help will be greatly appreciated

Looks like fairly trivial ASP upload. Do a search on this site for ASPUpload - you'll find several answers in the ASP forum (forum333)

I'm not sure whether this can be done purely on the server side .

Dear John if you have a sample website containg aspupload demo I would be most happy to look at it

I did search

http://www.tek-tips.com/search.cfm?action=Search&pid=333&requesttimeout=75

regarding aspupload

I just want to know whether this is some kind of browser plugin ?

Thanks

As I said - you are off-topic in the VB5/6 forum. This is a simple combination of javascript clientside with some serverside. Some simple research (like View Source) on your browser will show you where to ask your next questions - but it shouldn't be in VB6!

I think chennaiprogrammer is actually trying to figure out how an ActiveX DLL got called from a web page. chennaiprogrammer, if that's correct, you might first check faq708-5940 which should help you with this. If you are in fact attempting to do this, perhaps you will post back here and say so.

Hello Bob

Yes you are correct and thanks for the post

 

[BobRodes]

You're most welcome. You can create an ActiveX DLL using VB6, so this forum is probably the appropriate one for this thread. If you need further help than that provided in the FAQ, post back.

Bob

I indeed did get a warning about the ActiveX content

If you already had the ActiveX control installed from another program you wouldn't get a warning.
