Html.BeginForm multipart/form-data File Upload form-group validation

I have a cshtml file to Upload files to the server.

@using (Html.BeginForm("FileUpload", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @Html.ValidationSummary();
    <div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissible" role="alert">@ViewBag.Message</div>

        <div class="form-horizontal">
        <h4>Upload Data Documents</h4>
        <hr />
        @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
        @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.project_id)

        <div class="form-group">
            <label class="control-label col-md-2">Some Other File</label>
            <div class="col-md-10">
                <input type="file" name="someOtherFile" class="form-control" />
                <span class="field-validation-error" id="spanfilesomeOtherFile"></span>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <label class="control-label col-md-2">Results Comparison</label>
            <div class="col-md-10">
                <div class="form-group">
                    <div class="col-md-4">
                        <input type="file" name="FileUploadResultsComparison" class="form-control" placeholder=".col-md-4"/>
                        <span class="field-validation-error" id="spanfileResultsComparison"></span>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-md-4">
                        @if (ViewData["Project"] != null)
                        { 
                            @Html.DropDownList("resultsComp_project", (SelectList)ViewData["Project"], "Select a Project", new { @class = "form-control", @placeholder = ".col-md-4" })
                        }
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <label class="control-label col-md-2">Memory Usage</label>
            <div class="col-md-10">
                <div class="form-group">
                    <div class="col-md-4">

                        <span class="field-validation-error" id="spanfileMemoryUsage"></span>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-md-4">
                        @if (ViewData["Project"] != null)
                        {
                            @Html.DropDownList("memUsage_project", (SelectList)ViewData["Project"], "Select a Project", new { @class = "form-control", @placeholder = ".col-md-4" })
                        }
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
                <input type="submit" name="Submit" id="btnSubmit" value="Upload Files" class="btn btn-default" />
            </div>
        </div>
}

And my Controller is as follows

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult FileUpload(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
    foreach (string upload in Request.Files)
    {
        if (!(Request.Files[upload] != null && Request.Files[upload].ContentLength > 0)) continue;

        HttpPostedFileBase file = Request.Files[upload];

        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            if (file == null)
            {
                ModelState.AddModelError("File", "Please Upload Your file");
            }
            else if (file.ContentLength > 0)
            {
                int MaxContentLength = 1024 * 1024 * 3; //3 MB
                string[] AllowedFileExtensions = new string[] { ".jpg", ".gif", ".png", ".pdf" };

                if (!AllowedFileExtensions.Contains(file.FileName.Substring(file.FileName.LastIndexOf('.'))))
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("File", "Please file of type: " + string.Join(", ", AllowedFileExtensions));
                }

                else if (file.ContentLength > MaxContentLength)
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("File", "Your file is too large, maximum allowed size is: " + MaxContentLength + " MB");
                }
                else
                {
                    var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
                    var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Content/Upload"), fileName);
                    file.SaveAs(path);
                    ModelState.Clear();
                    ViewBag.Message = "File uploaded successfully";
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return View();
}

The code above works, including the file validation. However i am having trouble with 2 things regarding the "Project" associated with the file.

  1. How to i send/return the Project(id) associated with each file to the controller?
  2. How do i selectively validate the whether the "Project" DropDown is selected for the file? for example (if i browse and select a file for how do i ensure that a corresponding "resultsComp_project" value is selected in the Dropdown? )

  3. how do i associate file and project if they are selected for both (i.e, name="FileUploadMemoryUsage" & name="FileUploadResultsComparison")

Please note that the Memory Usage information can be null, code will only process a file & project if they are entered.

I just had to modify the controller to handle the validation based on the file being uploaded.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult FileUpload(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
    foreach (string upload in Request.Files)
    {
        if (!(Request.Files[upload] != null && Request.Files[upload].ContentLength > 0)) continue;

        int memUsage_baseline_id = 0;
        int timingComp_baseline_id = 0;
        if (upload == "FileUploadMemoryUsage" || upload == "FileUploadResultsComparison")
        {
            if (upload == "FileUploadMemoryUsage")
            {
                if (Request.Params["memUsage_project"] == null || Request.Params["memUsage_project"] == "")
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("Project", "Please Select Project for Memory Usage");
                }
                else
                {
                    memUsage_baseline_id = int.Parse(Request.Params["memUsage_project"]);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                if (Request.Params["resultsComp_project"] == null || Request.Params["resultsComp_project"] == "")
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("Project", "Please Select Project for Timing Comparison");
                }
                else
                {
                    timingComp_baseline_id = int.Parse(Request.Params["resultsComp_project"]);
                }
            }
        }

        HttpPostedFileBase file = Request.Files[upload];

        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            if (file == null)
            {
                ModelState.AddModelError("File", "Please Upload Your file");
            }
            else if (file.ContentLength > 0)
            {
                int MaxContentLength = 1024 * 1024 * 3; //3 MB
                string[] AllowedFileExtensions = new string[] { ".jpg", ".gif", ".png", ".pdf" };

                if (!AllowedFileExtensions.Contains(file.FileName.Substring(file.FileName.LastIndexOf('.'))))
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("File", "Please file of type: " + string.Join(", ", AllowedFileExtensions));
                }

                else if (file.ContentLength > MaxContentLength)
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("File", "Your file is too large, maximum allowed size is: " + MaxContentLength + " MB");
                }
                else
                {
                    var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
                    var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Content/Upload"), fileName);
                    file.SaveAs(path);
                    ModelState.Clear();
                    ViewBag.Message = "File uploaded successfully";
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return View();
}
