Question

I want to pass image as well as some data from view to controller on submit button click.
Bellow is my code

My View

@using (Html.BeginForm("AccountPhotoPost", "Post", FormMethod.Post, new {enctype = "multipart/form-data", accountId = Model.accountId }))
{
       <text>Post Photo : </text> <input type="file" name="file" id="file" />

       <input type="submit" value="Post Photo" id="saveButton"/>
}

My controller action

 [HttpPost]
 public ActionResult AccountPhotoPost(HttpPostedFileBase file, long accountId)
    {

    }

Here problem is that as it is FormMethod.Post , data is not passed from view to controller & if I remove this then data is passed but image is not passed.

How can I send both together ?

Answer 1

Try this

@model SomeModel
@using (Html.BeginForm("AccountPhotoPost", "Post", FormMethod.Post, new {enctype = "multipart/form-data"}))
{
       <text>Post Photo : </text> <input type="file" name="file" id="file" />

        @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.accountId )
       <input type="submit" value="Post Photo" id="saveButton"/>
}

in Controller

[HttpPost]
 public ActionResult AccountPhotoPost(SomeModel model ,HttpPostedFileBase file)
    {
        var Id = model.accountId;
    }
