Introduction:-
In this article, I will look at how to upload a file using ASP.NET MVC3.
View for Interface:-
Now we need a View to Give the User Interface for upload a file in this application.
In Index.cshtml
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Http File Upload";
}
<h2>File Upload</h2>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Upload Image:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"/ >
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image"/>
</form>
· After written above code the output will below.
In HomeController:-
public class HomeController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /Home/
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost] //this line for Form method POST in Index.cshtml
public ActionResult Index(HttpPostedFileBase file) [1] {
var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);[2]
if (fileName != null) [3]
file.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~\\files\\" + fileName)); [4]
return View();
}
}
[1]. That the argument to the Index action method is an instance(file) of HttpPostedFileBase.
[2]. Here is declare a fileName variable for contain the file name which you want to upload. GetFileName() is a static method of Path class which is get the file name from file instance through the FileName property.
[3]. Here is check fileName is not null if statement will return true then new line execute.
[4]. SaveAs() a method of HttpPostedFileBaseclass Which is save the file in our application folder which is given location in Server.MapPath() method.
· Now press Ctrl+F5 for Run the Application.
· Now select any file for upload through the Browse... button.
- After selected file click Upload File... Button.
· Now Goto on the solution Explorer and Refresh your Solution Explorer and see your uploaded file in files folder with selected file name.
