We released SlickUpload 5.1.1 yesterday. It adds several great new features that weren't implemented in 5.0, including internationalization support, SQL status manager optimizations (used for clustered environments), additional templating support, and a cancel confirmation message that appears when users navigate the browser during an upload. This version also adds MVC support, fixes several little bugs with the 5.0 release, and includes 5 more samples that demonstrate advanced functionality enabled by SlickUpload 5.

New Samples

• ASP.NET MVC example showing how the SlickUpload control can be used within an ASP.NET MVC application
• ASP.NET AJAX example demonstrating the SlickUpload control on a page with an UpdatePanel control
• Progress templating and file list templating sample. This shows how to use images for the progress bar, template the file list with css, and display file type icons for files as they are selected.
• Modal progress sample. This sample demonstrates how to put the progress display in a modal popup on page.
• Localization sample. Example of localizing the SlickUpload control using ASP.NET's built in localization support.

The new download is available, as always, on the SlickUpload download page.

April is Amazon Web Service's Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)'s third anniversary. In honor of this, Amazon is offering S3 data transfer in for $0.03 per GB (vs the normal $0.10) from April to June. This is a welcome announcement for those of us using S3 storage for files.
