File Upload Using ASP.NET MVC 4.5 Application

Step 1: Open Visual Studio and click File=> New=> Project.

Step 2: Now, select ASP.NET Web Application. Then create Project name. Here our project name is “FileUploadMVC” and then click on OK button.

Step 3: Select the MVC template, then click on OK Button.

Step 4: Now you need to create Controller. So first of all you will right click on Controller folder, then add Controller.

Step 5: Here select the Empty MVC 5 Controller.

Click add button.

Step 6: Here I have added “AsynFileUpload” Action into “UploadFile” Controller.

Controller section code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace FileUploadMVC.Controllers {
public class UploadFileController: Controller {
// GET: Upload
public ActionResult AsynFileUpload() {
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult AsynFileUpload(IEnumerable < HttpPostedFileBase > files) {
int count = 1;
if (files != null) {
foreach(var file in files) {
if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0) {
var fileName = Guid.NewGuid() + Path.GetExtension(file.FileName);
var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/UploadedFiles"), fileName);
file.SaveAs(path);
count++;
}
}
}
return new JsonResult {
Data = "Successfully " + count + " file(s) uploaded"
};
}
}
}

Step 7. Now right click on “Actions Method” in Controller section. Then add view.

Step 8: In this section , I used jQuery code to upload the file to the server.

@ {
ViewBag.Title = "FileUpload";
} < h2 > AsynFileUpload < /h2>
@using(Ajax.BeginForm("AsynFileUpload", "UploadFile", new AjaxOptions() {
HttpMethod = "post"
}, new {
enctype = "multipart/form-data"
})) {
@Html.AntiForgeryToken() < input type = "file"
name = "file"
id = "ful" / > < input type = "submit"
value = "upload file" / >
} < div class = "progress" > < div class = "progress-bar" > 0 % < /div> < /div> < div id = "status" > < /div> < style > .progress {
position: relative;
width: 450 px;
border: 1 px solid# ddd;
padding: 1 px;
}.progress - bar {
width: 0 px;
height: 30 px;
background - color: green;
} < /style>
@section scripts { < script src = "http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js" > < /script> < script > (function() {
var bar = $('.progress-bar');
var percent = $('.progress-bar');
var status = $('#status');
$('form').ajaxForm({
beforeSend: function() {
status.empty();
var percentValue = '0%';
bar.width(percentValue);
percent.html(percentValue);
},
uploadProgress: function(event, position, total, percentComplete) {
var percentValue = percentComplete + '%';
bar.width(percentValue);
percent.html(percentValue);
},
success: function(d) {
var percentValue = '100%';
bar.width(percentValue);
percent.html(percentValue);
$('#fu1').val('');
alert(d);
},
complete: function(xhr) {
status.html(xhr.responseText);
}
});
})(); < /script>
}
