@using (Html.BeginForm('Index', 'Home', FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = 'multipart/form-data' }))
{
<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();
}
// This action handles the form POST and the upload
[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');
}
}
