Question

I am wondering how do I upload files with asp.net mvc 3 and plupload plugin

I tried HttpPostedFileBase but it seems to be always null;

I found this page but I am wondering if there are new ways for asp.net mvc 3.

I am also not 100% sure what is going on this. Is it actually saving the file to the server(App_data) as I do not want this. I am trying to upload icals and then extract the values from the icals and import them into by db.

Then get rid of the file. So I rather not be saving it to the server if necessary.

Answer 1

Make sure your form contains enctype = "multipart/form-data"

@using (Html.BeginForm("upload", "home", FormMethod.Post,
    new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))

And have your input name

<input type="file" name="file" />

The same on the controller

public ActionResult Upload(HttpPostedFileBase file)
