    You can use the gecko uploadify package to do this, use the macro to put it in your site's frontend.

    Why would you like to do this without using packages?

    sony: In that case, find a .net control that can upload multiple images, put it in a usercontrol and create a macro for that usercontrol in Umbraco. There's nothing stopping you to do it the "normal" .net way.

    Something like: 

    var node = new Node();
node.getProperty("yourUploadFieldProperty").Value = Path_To_Uploaded_File;

    But be sure to check out the wiki /umbraco.tv for more information on how to create content.

    I think 'sony' means creating the uploaded files as media items:
    http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/3477-Creating-Media-Programatically#comment12140

    And if you want to assign a value to a node, use the Document api (node == read-only). Cultiv knows that, but I guess he forgot ;-)

    lol sorry, yes kipusoep is correct, at the Umbraco course last week I was drilled so much to always use the nodeFactory that I am confusing the two now.
