I want to upload an image in a post method for edit a record,this is the form that send the data to the controller:

<form asp-action="Edit">
    <div asp-validation-summary="ModelOnly" ></div>
    <input type="hidden" asp-for="IdEmpresa" />
    <div >
        <label asp-for="CodEmpresa" ></label>
        <input required asp-for="CodEmpresa"  />
        <span asp-validation-for="CodEmpresa" ></span>
    </div>
    <div >
        <label asp-for="Empresa" ></label>
        <input required asp-for="Empresa"  />
        <span asp-validation-for="Empresa" ></span>
    </div>
    <div >
        <label asp-for="Contacto" ></label>
        <input required asp-for="Contacto"  />
        <span asp-validation-for="Contacto" ></span>
    </div>
    <div >
        <label asp-for="Imagen" ></label>
        <input asp-for="Imagen"  type="file" />
        <span asp-validation-for="Imagen" ></span>
    </div>
    <br />
    <div >
        <input type="submit" value="Actualizar"  />
    </div>
</form>

And here it's the method that update the data but only the strings or the numbers, i don't how to handle the input of type = 'file' to copy the image to a local directory and assign the path to the string of 'Image' attribute in the model

public async Task<IActionResult> Edit(int id, [Bind("IdEmpresa,CodEmpresa,Empresa,Contacto")] MnEmpresa mnEmpresa)
{
    if (id != mnEmpresa.IdEmpresa)
    {
        return NotFound();
    }

    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        try
        {
            MnEmpresa empresa = _context.MnEmpresas.Where(x => x.IdEmpresa == mnEmpresa.IdEmpresa).FirstOrDefault();
            _context.Entry(empresa).State = EntityState.Detached;
            mnEmpresa.Imagen = empresa.Imagen;
            _context.Update(mnEmpresa);
            await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
        }
        catch (DbUpdateConcurrencyException)
        {
            if (!MnEmpresaExists(mnEmpresa.IdEmpresa))
            {
                return NotFound();
            }
            else
            {
                throw;
            }
        }

        return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index));
    }

    return View(mnEmpresa);
}

Here is my model:

public MnEmpresa()
{
    MnAplicactivos = new HashSet<MnAplicactivo>();
    MnUsuarios = new HashSet<MnUsuario>();
}

public int IdEmpresa { get; set; }
public int? CodEmpresa { get; set; }
public string Empresa { get; set; }
public string Contacto { get; set; }

public string Imagen { get; set; }

public virtual ICollection<MnAplicactivo> MnAplicactivos { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<MnUsuario> MnUsuarios { get; set; }

CodePudding user response：

To upload a file use enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute in the form tag. The enctype attribute can be used only if method="post".

<form asp-action="Edit" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    ....
    <input type="file" name="postedFile" id="postedFile" multiple />

    <div >
        <input type="submit" value="Actualizar"  />
    </div>
<form>

In the the controller:

public class YourController : Controller
{
    private readonly ILogger<HomeController> _logger;
    private readonly IWebHostEnvironment _web;

    public YourController(IWebHostEnvironment env, ILogger<HomeController> logger)
    {
        _web = env;
        _logger = logger;
    }

    ....

    [HttpPost]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Edit(int id, [Bind("IdEmpresa,CodEmpresa,Empresa,Contacto")] MnEmpresa mnEmpresa, IFormFile postedFile)
    { 
        if (id != mnEmpresa.IdEmpresa)
        {
            return NotFound();
        }
    
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {         
            string wwwPath = _web.WebRootPath;
            string contentPath = _web.ContentRootPath;
    
            string path = Path.Combine(_web.WebRootPath, "Uploads");
            if (!Directory.Exists(path))
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
            }          
    
            if (postedFile != null)
            {

                {                
                    postedFile.CopyTo(stream);
                }
