I have some problem with posting formData
to server side action method. Because ajax call doesn't send files to server, I have to add file uploader data to formData
manually like this:
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append("imageFile", $("#imageFile").file);
formData.append("coverFile", $("#coverFile").file);
I wrote jQuery function that need to post form data to server using ajax call.
It's works but posted formData
in server side is always null!
this is my script:
<script>
function SubmitButtonOnclick()
{
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append("imageFile", $("#imageFile").file);
formData.append("coverFile", $("#coverFile").file);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '@Url.Action("EditProfile", "Profile")',
data: formData,
dataType: 'json',
contentType: "multipart/form-data",
processData: false,
success: function (response) {
$('#GeneralSection').html(response.responseText);
},
error: function (error) {
$('#GeneralSection').html(error.responseText);
}
});
}
</script>
Edit 1:
This is the action method in controller:
public ActionResult EditProfile(ProfileGeneralDescription editedModel,
HttpPostedFileBase imageFile,
HttpPostedFileBase coverFile,
string postOwnerUser)
{
try
{
if (postOwnerUser == User.Identity.Name)
{
// edit codes...
var result = GetProfileGeneralDescription(postOwnerUser);
return PartialView("_GeneralProfile", result);
}
else
{
var error = new HandleErrorInfo(
new Exception("Access Denied!"),
"Profile",
EditProfile
return PartialView("~/Views/Shared/Error.cshtml", error);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
var error = new HandleErrorInfo(ex, "Profile", EditProfile
return PartialView("~/Views/Shared/Error.cshtml", error);
}
}
Edit 2:
Cshtml view file content:
@model Website.Models.ViewModel.Profile
@using (Ajax.BeginForm("EditProfile", "Profile", new { postOwnerUser = User.Identity.Name }, new AjaxOptions()
{
HttpMethod = "POST",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
UpdateTargetId = "GeneralSection"
}, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
<div>
<button id="btnSubmit" type="button" onclick="SubmitButtonOnclick()">Submit</button>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="username" id="username" value="@Model.Username"/>
<fieldset>
<legend>Edit Photos</legend>
<div>
Select profile picture:
<input id="imageFile" type="file" name="imageFile" accept="image/png, image/jpeg" />
@Html.CheckBoxFor(modelItem => modelItem.DefaultCover)<span>Remove profile photo</span>
</div>
<div>
Select cover picture:
<input id="coverFile" type="file" name="coverFile" accept="image/png, image/jpeg" />
@Html.CheckBoxFor(modelItem => modelItem.DefaultCover)<span>RemoveCover</span>
</div>
</fieldset>
}
Any tips, link or code example would be useful.
Thank you in advance!
