I have a basic HTML form with <input type="file" multiple> inside. For each chosen file I create a description.
Now I want to bind them to PostedPhotoViewModel[] PostedPhotos;:
public abstract class PostedPhotoViewModel
{
public string Description { get; set; }
public HttpPostedFileBase File { get; set; }
}
I don't know how to prepare my input to do such a thing. Is it possible? Or do I have to do some tricks to achieve my target?
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.PostedPhotos, new { @name = "PostedPhotos", type = "file", multiple="multiple" })
I tried to force it in such a way, but didn't work:
myForm.submit(function(e) {
myInput.files = $.map(myInput.files, function(element) {
return {File: element, Description: "Test description"}
});
return true;
});
It's basic ASP.NET MVC 5 project.
I would replace this:
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.PostedPhotos, new { @name = "PostedPhotos", type = "file", multiple="multiple" })
With just:
<input type="file" name="files" multiple="multiple" />
Then in the controller do something like:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> files)
I think the nested view model list binding with a textbox property is making it far more complicated than it is.
