I am sending a multi part data to webapi controller. How to read the contents in the method?
multipart/form-data is often found in web application HTML Form documents and is generally used to upload files. The form-data format is the same as other multipart formats, except that each inlined piece of content has a name associated with it.
Multipart form data: The ENCTYPE attribute of <form> tag specifies the method of encoding for the form data. It is one of the two ways of encoding the HTML form. It is specifically used when file uploading is required in HTML form. It sends the form data to server in multiple parts because of large size of file.
An 'async' example:
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> PostSurveys()
{
// Verify that this is an HTML Form file upload request
if (!Request.Content.IsMimeMultipartContent("form-data"))
{
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
//Destination folder
string uploadFolder = "mydestinationfolder";
// Create a stream provider for setting up output streams that saves the output under -uploadFolder-
// If you want full control over how the stream is saved then derive from MultipartFormDataStreamProvider and override what you need.
MultipartFormDataStreamProvider streamProvider = new MultipartFormDataStreamProvider(uploadFolder );
MultipartFileStreamProvider multipartFileStreamProvider = await Request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(streamProvider);
// Get the file names.
foreach (MultipartFileData file in streamProvider.FileData)
{
//Do something awesome with the files..
}
}
