Photo Upload Solution

As a amateur photographer, I don't like any of the current free gallery apps on offer, so want to write one myself. Just a simple nice photo gallery with upload, edit, delete etc. I'd like to do it in Asp.Net as I am unsure of other technologies - and it will be based on a SQL Server 2008 DB.

So, DB access, files etc, all sorted. I will do it in a nice layered architecture, probably with MVC and Entity Framework.

My problem is the front end - not sure how to do the multi file upload part. I'd like to be able to multi select the images to upload, and then see them as they progress.

Maybe there's something already established for this? Some fancy Ajax control?

But would be nice to see a list of the files being uploaded, with a progress bar next to each one as they upload.

Is there a way to do this without flash?

Flash based uploaders are really troublesome especially dealing with form authentication (lost sessions etc). I highly recommend Plupload. It supports many runtimes (HTML5, Flash, Silverlight, Gears, BrowserPlus, HTML4). We've integrated in our CMS product and it works very well. Also, note that it has image-resizing function on browser-side to reduce both transmission time and ease of use (supported with only by some runtimes).
