I am using ASP.NET 5, MVC 6 in VS 2015. I am making a web application. On my form I have:
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div id="uploadSection" >
<label >Select files for upload</label>
<input type="file" id="fileSelect" name="fileSelect" multiple />
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="thisbutton" value="button" />
</div>
</form>
in my controller:
[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> FileForm(FileViewModel vm, IFormFile file)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
//IFormFileCollection files = Request.Form.Files;
string filePath = Path.Combine("C:", "transfers");
//foreach (var file in files)
//{
if (file != null && file.Length > 0)
{
var fileName = ContentDispositionHeaderValue.Parse(file.ContentDisposition).FileName.Trim('"');
await file.SaveAsAsync(Path.Combine(filePath, fileName));
}
//}
ModelState.Clear();
}
return View();
}
I have a much larger form with mother form fields in it that are going into my FormViewModel (ALL fields are populating as they should), and I actually tried putting the IFormFileCollection, ICollection, IList, List as the parameters in the method above and instead also putting it directly in my view model. Whether I do it as a single file or multiple, in the model or the controller, I always get null. The 'IFormFileCollecion files = Request.Form.Files' actually works, but I don't want to do it that way because it should work the way I have or had it. When I put the property for the files in my model, I put "[Required]" above it and it doesn't trigger.
AND, even better, I ran this multiple times with fiddler and it is actually POSTING the files-- so why aren't they being cast into the model?
Do I have my dependencies wrong? Can anyone think of what could cause this?
