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

You can add this kind of code to the handler file. Then you can post to this url(whateverroot/yourhandler.ashx)

The content type should be "multipart/form-data". For eg: If you're using a HTML form tag, then enctype="multipart/form-data".

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
        var result = "0";
        try
        {
            if (context.Request.Files.Count > 0)
            {
                HttpPostedFile file = null;

                for (int i = 0; i < context.Request.Files.Count; i++)
                {
                    file = context.Request.Files[i];
                    if (file.ContentLength > 0)
                    {
                        var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
                        var path = Path.Combine(, fileName);
                        file.SaveAs(path);
                        result = "1"; 
                    }
                }    

            }
        }
        catch { }
      context.Response.Write(result);
}
