FileUpload inside a DetailsView: HasFile is always false

First and foremost, I am NOT using an UpdatePanel -- it looks like that's a common issue, but I didn't even know what one was before I googled this issue.

I have a DetailsView attempting to upload a file and insert the filename into the database. Problem is, HasFile is always turning up false! Any idea what I've done wrong?

C#:

public partial class DocManager : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!(System.Convert.ToBoolean(Session["Admin"])))
            Response.Redirect("Index.aspx");
    }

protected void DetailsView1_ItemInserting(object sender, DetailsViewInsertEventArgs e)
{
    FileUpload fu1 = (FileUpload) DetailsView1.FindControl("FileUpload1");
    if (fu1 == null)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
        StatusLabel.Text = "Could not find file upload";
    }
    if (fu1.HasFile)
    {
        try
        {
            string filename = Path.GetFileName(fu1.FileName);
            fu1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/Docs/") + filename);
            StatusLabel.Text = "Upload status: File uploaded!";
            e.Values["FileName"] = filename;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            StatusLabel.Text = "Upload status: The file could not be uploaded. The following error occured: " + ex.Message;
        }

    }
    else
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
        StatusLabel.Text = "No file uploaded";
        return;
    }

    DropDownList dd1 = (DropDownList)DetailsView1.FindControl("DropDownList2");
    DropDownList dd2 = (DropDownList)DetailsView1.FindControl("DropDownList4");
    e.Values["Type"] = dd1.SelectedValue;
    e.Values["MeetingID"] = dd2.SelectedValue;

}

protected void DetailsView1_ItemEditing(object sender, DetailsViewInsertEventArgs e)
{
    FileUpload fu1 = (FileUpload)DetailsView1.FindControl("FileUpload2");
    if (fu1 == null)
        e.Cancel = true;
    if (fu1.HasFile) {
        try
        {
            string filename = Path.GetFileName(fu1.FileName);
            fu1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/Docs/") + filename);
            StatusLabel.Text = "Upload status: File uploaded!";
            e.Values["FileName"] = filename;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            StatusLabel.Text = "Upload status: The file could not be uploaded. The following error occured: " + ex.Message;
        }
    }
    else
        e.Cancel = true;

    DropDownList dd1 = (DropDownList)DetailsView1.FindControl("DropDownList1");
    DropDownList dd2 = (DropDownList)DetailsView1.FindControl("DropDownList3");
    e.Values["Type"] = dd1.SelectedValue;
    e.Values["MeetingID"] = dd2.SelectedValue;

}

}

The only thing in PageLoad is a check to be sure the user is logged in properly, nothing else should be running before that.

I also edited in the rest of the c# code above, it wasn't as long

The form element in the master page:

<form id="form1" runat="server">

ETA: I found the problem. I'd been using an empty text file as a test - which was reading as 0 bytes, confusing the file uploader into thinking it had no file. Adding some text to the file makes it work perfectly.

Thanks for the help everyone!

I found the problem. I'd been using an empty text file as a test - which was reading as 0 bytes, confusing the file uploader into thinking it had no file. Adding some text to the file makes it work perfectly.

Ranting about why a file with a size of 0 bytes is not the same thing as no file at all shall be done elsewhere.
