ASP.Net MVC & jQuery Form Plugin Uploading a File

Question

Can someone give me an example of how to do this with ASP.Net MVC? I have followed the example at their site on the file uploads tab but I cannot get a decent response back. My controller thinks that it is not a AJAXRequest and tries to do a RedirectToAction but that doesn't change the page after the post.

Answer 1

Try this my friend: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ABackToBasicsCaseStudyImplementingHTTPFileUploadWithASPNETMVCIncludingTestsAndMocks.aspx

Answer 2

The upload isn't an AJAX request, it states clearly that you can't do a file upload using the XMLHttpRequest object so it's done using an iframe as the target. Try processing the upload just as you would for a normal non-AJAX submission.

Answer 3

Answer: Cannot use AJAX or use iFrame

Answer 4

I wrote a blog post about how to do this here.
