  Html.Form and enctype = "multipart/form-data"

  Aug 29, 2008 09:35 PM|LINK

  I am trying to use the Html.Form helper to create a file upload form like this...

          <% using (Html.Form("MyController", "MyAction", FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "normal" })) %>

  
  But it fails to compile! with this error ...

  Compiler Error Message: CS1928: 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'Form' and the best extension method overload 'System.Web.Mvc.FormExtensions.Form(System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper, string, string, System.Web.Mvc.FormMethod, System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<string,object>)' has some invalid arguments

  What am I doing wrong???

  Which version of MVC are you using?

  The extension method you're trying to call takes a dictionary as its last parameter, not an anonymous object.
