NuGet package for IFormFile

Question

I need to have access to IFormFile interface in ASP.Net Core 1. Could you please tell me which NuGet package I should install?

Answer 1

Even though the original question is about ASP.NET Core 1, I landed here while searching for a way to reference IFormFile in a library targeting .NET 6 (should work for ASP.NET Core 3.0+). For those who are also looking for an up-to-date solution, you can add a FrameworkReference to your .csproj file like this:

<ItemGroup>
    <FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />
</ItemGroup>

This will allow you to use IFormFile and other ASP.NET Core types in your library.

I hope this helps anyone who is working with a more recent version of .NET!
