Upload Multiple Files in MVC4

In this code snippet, we will learn how to upload multiple files in MVC 4

Create a new MVC Project (Internet Application).

Add a new Controller, Name it as "file". Write the following code in it.

public ActionResult file()
{
    return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult file(IEnumerable < HttpPostedFileBase > file)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < Request.Files.Count; i++)
    {
        if (Request.Files[i] != null && Request.Files[i].ContentLength > 0) try {
            string path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Content/Files"),
            Path.GetFileName(Request.Files[i].FileName));
            Request.Files[i].SaveAs(path);
            ViewBag.Message = "File uploaded successfully";
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ViewBag.Message = "ERROR:" + ex.Message.ToString();
        } else {
            ViewBag.Message = "You have not specified a file.";
        }
    }
    return View();
}

Right click on the file method name and create a view named "file".

View------ > file.cshtml
 Add the following code in the View: -

@ {
    ViewBag.Title = "file";
} < h2 > Upload file < /h2>
t;br/ > @using(Html.BeginForm("file", "file", FormMethod.Post,
new {
    enctype = "multipart/form-data"
})) { < input type = "file"
    name = "file"
    id = "file"
    multiple = "multiple" / > < br / > < input type = "submit"
    value = "Upload file" / > < br / > < br / > @ViewBag.Message
}

Note

In the controller, dont forget to add "using System.IO;" reference Also add a new folder named "Files" in the content folder of the project. Refer the attached file in case u find any difficulties.
