Here's a sample Photo gallery in .Net MVC:

Perhaps this will get you going down the right path. :-)

Answer 2

This is my code to get files from <input type="file">:

for (int i = 0; i < Request.Files.Count; ++i)
{
    var hpf = Request.Files[i];
    if (hpf.ContentLength > 0)
    {
        var file = new byte[hpf.ContentLength];
        hpf.InputStream.Read(file, 0, file.Length);
    }
}

Yeah, could use foreach.
