AsyncFileUpload postback causes double upload

Question

I implemented the AsyncFileUpload control on a web page. This web page requires uploaded files to appear in a GridView.
The GridView contains the following columns: "File Name", "Confidential" Check Box, and a "Remove" button to remove the uploaded file.

Since the AsyncFileUpload postback does not do a full page postback, I need to "force" a postback on the OnClientUploadComplete event of the AsyncFileUpload control in order to render the gridview after uploading a file.
In the OnClientUploadCompleteEvent, I use javascript to call __doPostBack. In this postback, I only bind my GridView and display the file information (I don’t re-save the file).

The problem: On the AsyncFileUpload’s first “partial” postback, the file is successfully uploaded, as expected. On the second postback that I force with __doPostBack, the file is re-uploaded.
You can verify this by using Google Chrome, which displays the upload progress. The behaviour is as follows:
- After selecting the file, the progress increments from 0% to 100% and the file is uploaded.
- After this, the __doPostBack executes, and you can see the upload progress increment again from 0% to 100%.

How can I make sure the Gridview is properly populated, but that the file is not uploaded twice?

I attached a sample solution which contains the issue: https://www.yousendit.com/download/MzZFc2ZBNDRrYUN4dnc9PQ

There is a simpler solution

@@t0x1n3Himself the solution u gave is very simple but does not work

surround the AsyncFileUpload with an update panel name it UpdatePanelAFU then in the UpdatePanelAFU do as the following :

 protected void AsyncFileUpload_UpdatePanelAFU(object sender,AjaxControlToolkit.AsyncFileUploadEventArgs e)
{

    if (Request.Params.Get("__EVENTTARGET") != "UpdatePanelAFU")
        return;
..... rest of the code 
}

enjoy!
