Error When Uploading File: @using Html.BeginForm

Mama's Classroom

I tried to upload a file using Html.BeginForm.

But I received an error saying:

HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. Requested URL: /PCController/Progress

PCController is my controller's name. This is from my controller:

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Progress()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Progress(HttpPostedFile file)
{
try
{
if (file.ContentLength > 0)
{
string _FileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
string _path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Content/PC"), _FileName);
file.SaveAs(_path);
}
ViewBag.Message = "File Uploaded Successfully!!";
return View();
}
catch
{
ViewBag.Message = "File upload failed!!";
return View();
}
}

And this one is for my View:

@using (Html.BeginForm("Progress", "PCController", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
@Html.TextBox("file", "", new { type = "file" })
"submit" value="Upload" />
@ViewBag.Message

}

As per the error it is saying that controller or action method is not correct. Check this link for example, https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/upload-files-in-asp-net-mvc-5/ https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Simple-File-Upload-example-in-ASPNet-MVC-Razor.aspx

It seems you are completely new to MVC, in MVC we never appened the controller word to signify controller, but you already got the point so is great.
now if you want to show the progress bar then you can use the bootstrap progress bar with the browser's loaded property. (completed= event.loaded/event.Total)

I shoulndt put "PCController" there, it should be "PC" only.

@using (Html.BeginForm("Progress", "PC", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{

@Html.TextBox("file", "", new { type = "file" })

@ViewBag.Message

}
