Answer 1

I think you cannot upload files with AJAX. One way to achieve this is to use a hidden iframe. Try this jQuery Form plugin and Telerik file control

Answer 2

Try this code

//Add reference to form.js

<script src="http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js"></script>

@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Company", FormMethod.Post, new { @enctype ="multipart/form-data",@id="formid" }))
{

}

//Javascript code

<script type="text/javascript">

$('#formid').ajaxForm(function (data) {

});

</script>

This will work as ajax submit.

I have made it based on this answer from Demian Flavius: How to do a ASP.NET MVC Ajax form post with multipart/form-data?

Basically it's the new JavaScript's FormData object that makes it easy for uploading with ajax as in the article your mentioned.

Please try this one @using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Company", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "ym-form", enctype="multipart/form-data" }))
