MVC 3, VB.NET. I have a form in my app that gets basic information from the user and then allows them to upload a resume. I am accomplishing this right now by using a redirect to a different form that's only purpose is to select the file for uploading and then submit it.. Sloppy in my opinion.. I have tried to do it from the same form but the file is being lost on submit.. While I am not certain of it I believe it is because I am not using the correct syntax in the form to handle the file... Below is the View so far and then the controller post function..
@ModelType xxxxxxxx.courseproposal
@Code
ViewData("Title") = "Course Proposal"
End Code
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"> </script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
@Using Html.BeginForm()
@Html.ValidationSummary(True)
@<fieldset>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Presenter 1</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>First Name</td>
<td>Last Name</td>
<td>Title</td>
<td>Phone Number</td>
<td>Email Address</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>@Html.EditorFor(Function(model) model.Name_First1) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.Name_First1)</th>
<th>@Html.EditorFor(Function(model) model.Name_Last1) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.Name_Last1)</th>
<th>@Html.EditorFor(Function(model) model.Title_1) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.Title_1)</th>
<th>@Html.EditorFor(Function(model) model.phone_number1) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.phone_number1)</th>
<th>@Html.EditorFor(Function(model) model.email_address1) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(model) model.email_address1)</th>
<th>@Html.Label("file","Filename:")<input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> </th>
</tr>
</table>
<div id="sidebar3">
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit Course Proposal" />
</p>
<p>
@Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")
</p>
</div>
</fieldset>
End Using
And the post Function is like this:
<AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)>
Function CourseProposal(ByVal courseprop As courseproposal) As ActionResult
courseprop.conf_Number = _AnnualNumber
db.courseproposals.AddObject(courseprop)
db.SaveChanges()
_id = courseprop.idCourseProposal
Dim _filename As String = String.Empty
For Each File As String In Request.Files
Dim hpf As HttpPostedFileBase = TryCast(Request.Files(File), HttpPostedFileBase)
If hpf.ContentLength = 0 Then
Continue For
End If
Dim savedfileName As String = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory) + "\CoursePropResumes\" + Path.GetFileName(hpf.FileName)
hpf.SaveAs(savedfileName)
_filename = hpf.FileName
Next
