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>
}

Output

Click on Choose File button and select the file.


Here our file successfully uploaded.
