Extract control out of literal

Question

I have a Literal control in my ASP.Net application, I fill this literal with a lot of FileUploads as below:

Literal1.Text += string.Format("<input id='File{0}' type='file' /><br/>",n++);

where n is a number that is not my worry, it is handled. FileUploads successfully add to page, now I want to cast (or whatever you call it) the literal text into several FileUploads (n items) and Save them all in one postback. HOW CAN I BEHAVE THIS STRING AS FILEUPLOAD?
I have tried this so far:

string[] fileUploads = Literal1.Text.Split(new string[] { "<br/>" },  
    StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

this gives me an array of strings each indicating a fileupload as string, IS IT POSSIBLE TO CAST THESE STRINGS TO FILEUPLOADS AND UPLOAD THEIR FILES?

Answer 1

Give your inputs names, and on postback check Request["inputName"] for the values..

lit.Text += String.Format("<input id='File{0}' name='File{0}' type='file' /><br/>", n++);

On postback your file names are in Request["File1"] , Request["File2"] , etc.

PS: Maybe all you need is getting the files themselves from Request.Files (assuming the form has enctype="multipart/form-data" ).
