I'm just looking for an example of adding a file upload for a DNN module (in edit or settings) 

If possible maybe an example that reads an excel file I think I have raw DNN and I can do this in another language on a seperate page (maybe admin access I-frame) but that will sort of break the concept of making a module in the first place.

Thanks for your help

If you're trying to upload files in DNN and the upload is just going to the website, I'd recommend that you find an upload feature in DNN, then use the DNN source code as a guide to implement that in your own module(s). This way, you'll use a built-in method in DNN and therefore inherit all of the security that comes with it. 😎

The new Resource Manager should give you an example...

Happy DNNing!
