Xceed Upload for Silverlight Major Features

• Lets you quickly and easily add upload capabilities to any Silverlight 3 application.
• All upload operations are asynchronous, so the hosting Web page remains perfectly responsive and usable throughout the transfer.
• Multiple files can be uploaded in a single transaction.
• Uploading field contents and strings from your Silverlight forms to the Web server is simple: fields are automatically gathered and formatted into a standard request.
• Helps you deliver a beautiful Silverlight 3 experience to your end-users, such as displaying progress information.
• Lets you compress data as it is being uploaded. Supports GZip and Deflate, with controllable compression level.
• Xceed's implementation of the HttpWebRequest interface supports the HTTP 1.1 “chunked” format and uses Silverlight Sockets to provide the ability to upload unlimited amounts of data in a single operation. (New in Xceed Upload for Silverlight 1.1)
• Lets you designate any HttpWebRequest implementation for transfers if you want to use a special communication algorithm. (New in Xceed Upload for Silverlight 1.1)
• Rich events let your application monitor and control every step of an upload operation.
• Several versions of the upload methods are provided: from simple "fire-and-forget" versions to ones letting you control everything. Static and instance versions let you use the component to suit your needs.
• Uploads can be deferred, letting your application gather files and strings and then perform the actual transfer when ready.
• The HTTP requests produced by the component use the standard MIME format for uploading data through the "multipart/form-data" content type, meaning any modern Web server should be able to handle the data.
• Custom HTTP request headers (main and item headers) can be set.
• The boundary used in the HTTP request can be specified.
• Base64 encoding is available to support Web browsers that do not allow the upload of non-ASCII data.
