You don't use a file input control. Server side controls are not used in ASP.NET MVC. Checkout thefollowing blog post which illustrates how to achieve this in ASP.NET MVC.
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");
}
}
