What does that have to do with the fileUpload? The FileUpload is working if you are getting an XSTRING. If this is a PDF why are you trying to convert to a STRING? That doesn't make sense with PDF, since PDF is a binary format. You would just get garbage or errors when trying to convert. ANSI isn't even a valid encoding anyway - even if this was a text file you were uploading.
