  MVC ( in Sitefinity)

  Dec 29, 2012 02:59 PM|LINK

  In my View I have sth like that:

  @model  CreatorModel

  ------

  <form name="myForm" action="/Creator/CreateAction" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="myForm" method="post">           
             
             <div class="a">
                 <h2 class="a">....</h2>
                <div class="b">
                   <br />
                     Select a file for a <input type="file" name="aFile" id="aFile" />
                   <br /><br />
                     Select a file for b<input type="file" name="bFile" id="bFile" />
                   <br /><br />
                   <input type="submit" id="CreateAction" name="CreateAction" value="CreateAction" />       
            </div>

  </form>

  -------

  But I have an error : File /Creator/CreateAction is not found (CreateAction is an action from CreatorController)

  What can I enter as action in <form...> in order to find action from controller?

  When I'm using this syntax:

  @using (Html.BeginForm("FileUpload", "Board", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" })) { <input type="file" /> <input type="submit" /> }
  
  
  I also have an error: A reference is not set to an instance of an object"

  Thanks for help in advance

  When I'm using this syntax:

  @using (Html.BeginForm("FileUpload", "Board",

  it is different from the first, isn't it?

  Hi, thanks a lot for the quick response.

  When I use this code in my View:

  @using (Html.BeginForm(Url.Content("~/Creator/CreateAction"), "ProductsAndDepartmentsCreator", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
             {
                      @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.RoboticsFile, new { type = "file" })
                      @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.MeasurementsFile, new { type = "file" })
  
                      <input type="submit" id="CreateAction" name="CreateAction" value="CreateAction" />                                                       
             }

  I have the following error:

  Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

  Again you changed the syntax completely.

  If you want to use BeginForm then you can specify the controller and action directly and url.content is not required.

   

  @using (Html.BeginForm("CreateAction", "Creator", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
              {
                       <input type="file" name="RoboticsFile" id="RoboticsFile" />
                       <input type="file" name="MeasurementsFile" id="MeasurementsFile" />
                       <input type="submit" />
              }
  
  
  public ActionResult CreateAction(HttpPostedFileBase RoboticsFile, HttpPostedFileBase MeasurementsFile)
  {
  .....

  Hi again,

  Thanks for reply.

  I,ve tried to do this in that way, but unfortunately after choosing  files and submitting HttpPostedFileBase is always null.

  Can you access the file from Request object?

  Unfortunately not (because Response.Files.Count = 0)

  You are looking at the response and not request.

  Look at  - Request.Files

  Sorry, I've mistaken in the previous post, Reuest.Files.Count = 0.

  When I create a mvc project from scratch all Your solutions works fine. So I think my problem is caused by sitefinity.

  Thanks a lot  for help.

  Hi,

  Please have a look at http://www.sitefinity.com/documentation/documentationarticles/developers-guide/sitefinity-essentials/how-does-sitefinity-use-asp.net-mvc/three-mvc-modes/hybrid-mode

  And more specifically at these lines:

  "There is one caveat. Since WebForms requires that you only have a single HTML form tag on the page, you cannot use the default@Html.BeginForm helper. We have provided an alternative for you, which you can use instead. Everywhere that you need to render a form, you can use @Html.BeginSitefinityForm."

  I would recommend you to use Sitefinity forums and support system as Sitefinity MVC in Hybrid mode is slightly different than regular MVC and we aren't monitoring asp.net forums for issues regarding Sitefinity :(
