I referred this, which suggests that I can use IHttpContextAccessor to access HttpContext.Current. But I want to specifically receive files which that object doesn't seem to have.
So is there any alternative for Httpcontext.Current.Request.Files in Asp.Net Core 2.0
Inside controller context and in action you can access files via HttpContext.Request.Form.Files:
public IActionResult Index()
{
var files = HttpContext.Request.Form.Files;
return View();
}
and outside controller you have to inject IHttpContextAccessor.
for upload file read File uploads in ASP.NET Core.
Form. I didn't notice it! Thanks :)Uploading file in Asp.Net Core 2.0 is done with an interface IFormFile that you would take as a parameter in your post action.
Lets say you have an ajax post that will call the POST action and upload a file. You would first create the form data.
var data = new FormData();
data.set("file", $("#uploadControl").val())
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "upload",
data: data,
contentType: false,
processData: false
});
Your action would look like this
[HttpPost]
public IActionResult Upload(IFormFile file)
{
//save the file
}
Please do not copy/paste this as this is just the general idea of how to do it.
IHttpContextAccessor. But its object does not haveHttpContext.CurrentorRequest.Filesproperty. It is deprecated in Core I think. And I am not finding its alternative.
