So you would start by creating an HTML form which would contain a file input:
@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
// This action handles the form POST and the upload{
<input type="file"name="file" />
<input type="submit"value="OK" />
}
and then you would have a controller to handle the upload:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
// This action renders the form
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
// Verify that the user selected a file
if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0)
{
// extract only the fielname
var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
// store the file inside ~/App_Data/uploads folder
var path =Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/uploads"), fileName);
file.SaveAs(path);
}
// redirect back to the index action to show the form once again
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
}
