I am trying to upload several db images onto the SQL Server 2008R2. I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 in C#. What is happening is that I getting the images displayed but the problem is that the second image is being displayed as twice. So it is duplicate. I am not sure why the first image is not being displayed.
My SubProductCategory4 Table has the following columns (for simplicity sake)...
Column Names: Image1 and Image2 has DataTypes varbinary(MAX), another column Name: ImageMimeType has DataTypes varchar(50).
My Controller has the following code for Create method...
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create([Bind(Exclude = "SubProductCategoryFourID")] SubProductCategory4 Createsubcat4, IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> files, FormCollection collection)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
foreach (string inputTagName in Request.Files)
{
if (Request.Files.Count > 0) // tried Files.Count > 1 did
// not solve the problem
{
Createsubcat4.Image1 = (new FileHandler()).uploadedFileToByteArray((HttpPostedFileBase)Request.Files[inputTagName]);
Createsubcat4.Image2 = (new FileHandler()).uploadedFileToByteArray((HttpPostedFileBase)Request.Files[inputTagName]);
// var fileName = Path.GetFileName(inputTagName);
//var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/uploads"), fileName);
}
// moved db.AddToSubProductCategory4(Createsubcat4);
// here but did not solve the problem
}
db.AddToSubProductCategory4(Createsubcat4);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("/");
}
//someother code
return View(Createsubcat4);
}
GetImage method...
public FileResult GetImage(int id)
{
const string alternativePicturePath = @"/Content/question_mark.jpg";
MemoryStream stream;
MemoryStream streaml;
SubProductCategory4 z = db.SubProductCategory4.Where(k => k.SubProductCategoryFourID == id).FirstOrDefault();
if ((z != null && z.Image1 != null) && (z != null && z.Image2 != null))
{
stream = new MemoryStream(z.Image1);
streaml = new MemoryStream(z.Image2);
}
else
{
var path = Server.MapPath(alternativePicturePath);
foreach (byte item in Request.Files)
{
HttpPostedFileBase file = Request.Files[item];
if (file.ContentLength == 0)
{
continue;
}
}
stream = new MemoryStream();
var imagex = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(path);
imagex.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
/* streaml = new MemoryStream();
var imagey = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(path);
imagey.Save(streaml, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
streaml.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);*/
}
return new FileStreamResult(stream,"image/jpg");
}
FileHandler.cs
public class FileHandler
{
public byte[] uploadedFileToByteArray(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
int nFileLen = file.ContentLength;
byte[] result = new byte[nFileLen];
file.InputStream.Read(result, 0, nFileLen);
return result;
}
}
create.cshtml...
@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "ProductCategoryL4", "GetImage",
FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
//some code then...
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Image1)
<input type="file" id="fileUpload1" name="fileUpload1" size="23"/>
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Image1)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Image2)
<input type="file" id="fileUpload2" name="fileUpload2" size="23"/>
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Image2)
</div>
index.cshtml...
<img src="@Url.Action("GetImage", "ProductCategoryL4", new { id =
item.SubProductCategoryFourID })" alt="" height="100" width="100" />
</td>
<td>
