MVC 6 HttpPostedFileBase?

Question

I am attempting to upload an image using MVC 6; however, I am not able to find the class HttpPostedFileBase. I have checked the GitHub and did not have any luck. Does anyone know the correct way to upload a file in MVC6?

MVC 6 used another mechanism to upload files. You can get more examples on GitHub or other sources. Just use IFormFile as a parameter of your action or a collection of files or IFormFileCollection if you want upload few files in the same time:

public async Task<IActionResult> UploadSingle(IFormFile file) {     FileDetails fileDetails;     using (var reader = new StreamReader(file.OpenReadStream()))     {         var fileContent = reader.ReadToEnd();         var parsedContentDisposition = ContentDispositionHeaderValue.Parse(file.ContentDisposition);         var fileName = parsedContentDisposition.FileName;     }     ... }  [HttpPost] public async Task<IActionResult> UploadMultiple(ICollection<IFormFile> files) {     var uploads = Path.Combine(_environment.WebRootPath,"uploads");      foreach(var file in files)     {         if(file.Length > 0)         {             var fileName = ContentDispositionHeaderValue.Parse(file.ContentDisposition).FileName.Trim('"');             await file.SaveAsAsync(Path.Combine(uploads,fileName));         }         ...     } } 

You can see current contract of IFormFile in asp.net sources. See also ContentDispositionHeaderValue for additional file info.
