Answer 1

This way I implement upload file to web API in project.

I share for whom concern.

const formData: FormData = new FormData();
formData.append('Image', image, image.name);
formData.append('ComponentId', componentId);
return this.http.post('/api/dashboard/UploadImage', formData);

Step by step

ASP.NET Web API

[HttpPost]
[Route("api/dashboard/UploadImage")]
public HttpResponseMessage UploadImage() 
{
    string imageName = null;
    var httpRequest = HttpContext.Current.Request;
    //Upload Image
    var postedFile = httpRequest.Files["Image"];
    //Create custom filename
    if (postedFile != null)
    {
        imageName = new String(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(postedFile.FileName).Take(10).ToArray()).Replace(" ", "-");
        imageName = imageName + DateTime.Now.ToString("yymmssfff") + Path.GetExtension(postedFile.FileName);
        var filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Images/" + imageName);
        postedFile.SaveAs(filePath);
    }
}

HTML form

    
    

        
            
        

        
        save
    

TS file to use API

OnSubmit(Image) {
    this.dashboardService.uploadImage(this.componentId, this.fileToUpload).subscribe(
      data => {
        console.log('done');
        Image.value = null;
        this.imageUrl = "/assets/img/logo.png";
      }
    );
  }

Service TS

uploadImage(componentId, image) {
        const formData: FormData = new FormData();
        formData.append('Image', image, image.name);
        formData.append('ComponentId', componentId);
        return this.http.post('/api/dashboard/UploadImage', formData);
    }
