IFormFile not supported

Question

To use IFormFile, we have to install Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http package, but it is deprecated in .NET 8. How to solve this problem?

I tried to add IFormFile to upload an image. But to add IFormFile, I need to reference Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http, but it is deprecated in .Net 8.

I also tried to install Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.App, but it is throwing an error

The package Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Ref 8.0.4 has a package type DotnetPlatform that is incompatible with this project

Answer 1

When I'm creating the .NET 8 ASP.NET MVC project the Visual Studio automatically adds reference to the Microsoft.AspNetCore.App shared framework and this is enough to use the IFormFile in my project. I'm not receiving any deprecating messages.

This interface declared in the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http namespace that is part of the Microsoft.AspNetCore.App shared framework.
