Please be more specific - 'does not work' is a very weak definition of error...

I have a problem with your requirement. Let's say that a user could select multiple files to upload. Where do the files get saved? Placing the content of many files into one file does not make sense. Let your user select one file at a time.

The proper property is AllowMultiple and is available starting in .Net 4.5 I believe:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.fileupload.allowmultiple(v=vs.110).aspx[^]

According to this, http://imar.spaanjaars.com/567/uploading-multiple-files-at-once-using-aspnet-45[^] IE9 and previous do not support it.

Usually if you see something works in FireFox and Chrome but not in IE you already have your answer. The code is correct, the browser is not.
