How to read data from javascript FormData other than file

Question

I need to upload files and some other data, for which I used bellow code

HTML:

<intut type='file' id='file1'>
<intut type='file' id='file2'>

javascript:

var data = new FormData(),
    categories = ['node.js','redis'],
    roles = ['admin','HR'];
data.Append ($('#file1').Files[0].name, $('#file1').Files[0]);
data.Append ($('#file2').Files[0].name, $('#file2').Files[0]);
data.Append ('category', 'categories');
data.Append ('role', 'roles');

   $.ajax({
        url: baseaddress + 'DocRepo/GetAdminUploadData',
        type: 'Post',
        data: data,
        cache: false,
        dataType: 'json',
        async: false,
        contentType: false,
        processData: false,
        success: function (data) {
        },
        error: function (data) {
        }
    });

From here I have an action method in my MVC Controller (not webapi) GetAdminUploadData where I need to collect all data(files, category and roles) how can do it.

Your method is not even an ActionResult, and it does not have any parameters. Add parameters for the values your posting e.g. string category, string role, but since you appear to be dynamically naming the files you will need to get the files from Request.Files although it would be much easier if you had parameter for HttpPostedFileBase file1, HttpPostedFileBase file2 — user3559349

Assuming that you are only looking for how to get the non-file items (as the title says ... although is not mentioned in the body of the question) and that the server code is C# (as your note from 3-feb-15 hints) I'd say this question is a duplicate of and answered by: How can retrieve string formData js in c#.

Namely: HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["KEY"]
