How to upload file in ASP.Net MVC

.Net .Net 4.0 ASP.Net MVC
This post is about upload file to server using ASP.Net MVC 4. First you need to modify the controller to accept the posted file along with the model. So you can modify it like this.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadImage(Student student, HttpPostedFileBase image)
{
var imageFile =
Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Images"), Path.GetFileName(image.FileName));
image.SaveAs(imageFile);
return View();
}And in View, you need to include htmlAttribute to upload files.
@using (Html.BeginForm("UploadImage", "Home",
FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
@Html.LabelFor(x => x.Name)
@Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Name)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.Name)
@Html.LabelFor(x => x.Email)
@Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Email)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.Email)
<input type="file" name="Image" id="Image" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
}Make sure the parameter name in the action method and File upload control id is same, otherwise it may not work.
Instead on including the HttpPostedFileBase parameter in the action method, you can also use Request.Files collection. Here is the implementation using Request.Files.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadImage(Student student, HttpPostedFileBase image)
{
for (int i = 0; i < Request.Files.Count; i++)
{
var file = Request.Files[i];
var fileName =
Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Images"), Path.GetFileName(file.FileName));
file.SaveAs(fileName);
}
return View();
}Happy Programming :)
