Setting maximum file uploading size

We can set the maximum file upload size for the web application application. For that, we need to set following properties in the httpRuntime section, which is under <system.web>, which will be under <configuration> section.

maxRequestLength - This attribute is used to set is the maximum file upload size. We have to specify this size in kilobytes(default is 4096 KB i.e. 4 MB). We can set this to use it according to our requirements, we can increase for uploading large sized files or decrease it to restrict user to limited length.

ExecutionTimeout - This attribute is used to set maximum number of seconds that a request is allowed to execute before automatically shut down


<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="20480" executionTimeout="1500"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
