Question

I am working on a ASP.NET MVC web site which has a form that allows for the upload of files using the multipart/form data enctype option on the form tag like so

<form enctype='multipart/form-data' method='post' action='<%= Url.Action('Post','Entries',new {id=ViewData.Model.MemberDetermination.DeterminationMemberID})  %>'> 

How would I write this to do an ASP.NET MVC Ajax form post instead?

Answer 1

1. You can use some additional uploaders (e.g. jQuery multiple file uploader) (I prefer this way and I prefer not to use MS Ajax)

2. Use:

   AjaxHelper.BeginForm('Post', 'Entries', new {id=ViewData.Model.MemberDetermination.DeterminationMemberID}, new AjaxOptions(){/*some options*/}, new {enctype='multipart/form-data'}) 

But in second case I’m not sure that it will work.
