How To Accept a File POST

Question

I\'m using asp.net mvc 4 webapi beta to build a rest service. I need to be able to accept POSTed images/files from client applications. Is this possible using the webapi?

Answer 1

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult PostImage(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
    try
    {
        if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0 && file.ContentLength<=10485760)
        {
            var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);                                        

            var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/") + "HisloImages" + "\\", fileName);

            file.SaveAs(path);
            #region MyRegion
            ////save imag in Db
            //using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
            //{
            //    file.InputStream.CopyTo(ms);
            //    byte[] array = ms.GetBuffer();
            //} 
            #endregion
            return Json(JsonResponseFactory.SuccessResponse("Status:0 ,Message: OK"), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
        else
        {
            return Json(JsonResponseFactory.ErrorResponse("Status:1 , Message: Upload Again and File Size Should be Less Than 10MB"), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {

        return Json(JsonResponseFactory.ErrorResponse(ex.Message), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

    }
}
