Question

I am trying to upload a single .csv file in ASP.NET MVC. In my .ascx file, I have:

        <div>           
            <input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
            &nbsp &nbsp
           <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" id="btnSubmit" value="Upload" />
        </div>

The controller action is:

 public ActionResult Upload(HttpPostedFileBase file)
        {
            if (file.ContentLength > 0)
            {
                var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
                var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/uploads"), fileName);
                file.SaveAs(path);
            }
            return View();
        }

The problem is that I always get file as Null in the Upload Action. Any suggestions on how to get this working?

Are you sure you have a

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<div> bla bla
</div>
</form>

?

Edit :
method=”post”

+

[HttpPost]

on your action
