  HttpPostedFileBase always null

  Jun 19, 2010 10:57 PM|LINK

   I have my form created like this:

  
  
  and the upload part, in that form:
  
  
   
  <input type="file" name="calendarUpload" id="calendarUpload" />
  <input type="submit" value="Upload Image" />

  
  and then the Controller method:

  public ActionResult UploadCalendar(HttpPostedFileBase calendarUpload)
  {
          calendarUpload.SaveAs(Url.Images("calendar.jpg"));
  
          return RedirectToAction("Activities");
  }

  
  The variable 'calendarUpload' is always null. Any suggestions?

  You're calling the wrong overload of BeginForm().  Try this instead:

  <% using (Html.BeginForm("UploadCalendar", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new {enctype = "multipart/form-data"})) { %>

  That was exactly it, thanks! I thought that post was the default action for a form, and didn't wise to that being the cause.
