Question

I’m big fan of the MVVM pattern, in particular while using the ASP.NET MVC Framework (in this case v2 preview 2).

But I’m curious if anyone knows how to use it when doing file uploads?

public class MyViewModel
{
    public WhatTypeShouldThisBe MyFileUpload { get; set; }
}

Answer 1

I have a production asp.net mvc site running with a jQuery multi-file uploader that i wrote. This answer has most of the code included in it so that should get you started with uploads in MVC. The question actually asks about storing the uploaded file in a Stream and i use a byte[], but you’ll see in the answer how my code can apply to both scenarios.
