upload file using jquery and handler(ashx)

Question

I am trying to upload a file using jquery ajax with handler (c#). The problem is, when I call the handler I get

context.Request.File.Count=0

Answer 1

i think the problem is with the contentType try

contentType: 'multipart/form-data',

OR

contentType :'application/octet-stream';
