Hi Vinu

Yes when any action is performed the screen gets refreshed since wdModify method is called each time an action is performed.

But the resource or the file you try to upload will be still existing in the attribute binded to the resouce property of FileUpload UI element.

Since the file, the user has selected from browse button is still existing the better option is use a single button named as "SAVE" this should contain the code which should make the FileUpload UI element to be disabled which keeps an illusion for the user the file has been uploaded and just change the label of button to "UNSAVE". And also when user clicks on button "UNSAVE" enable the FileUpload UI element and change the Label to "SAVE". So that the user can again try to upload the file or any resource.

Thereby user will not come back with such issue.

Thanks

Prasad.
