The application does save files but not on the server. Which data type supports IFormFile? How do i change the code to store to the database? Below is my code: My model namespace EmpApp.Models { public class UserViewModel { [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please select a file.")] [DataType(DataType.Upload)] public IFormFile Photo { get; set; } } } View @model EmpApp.Models.UserViewModel asp-action="Index" asp-controller="UserView" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Controller namespace EmpApp.Controllers { public class UserViewController : Controller { private readonly IHostingEnvironment environment; private readonly AppDataContext context; public UserViewController(AppDataContext context, IHostingEnvironment environment) { this.environment = environment; this.context = context; } public IActionResult Index() { var model = new UserViewModel(); return View(model); } [HttpPost] [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] public async Task Index(UserViewModel userViewModel) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { var formFile = userViewModel.Photo; if (formFile == null || formFile.Length == 0) { ModelState.AddModelError("", "Uploaded file is empty or null."); return View(viewName: "Index"); } var uploadsRootFolder = Path.Combine(environment.WebRootPath, "~/uploads/"); if (!Directory.Exists(uploadsRootFolder)) { Directory.CreateDirectory(uploadsRootFolder); } var filePath = Path.Combine(uploadsRootFolder, formFile.FileName); using (var fileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create)) { await formFile.CopyToAsync(fileStream).ConfigureAwait(false); } RedirectToAction("Index"); } return View(viewName: "Index"); } } } my database table
