I am sending a multi part data to webapi controller. How to read the contents in the method?
An 'async' example:
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> PostSurveys()
{
// Verify that this is an HTML Form file upload request
if (!Request.Content.IsMimeMultipartContent("form-data"))
{
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
//Destination folder
string uploadFolder = "mydestinationfolder";
// Create a stream provider for setting up output streams that saves the output under -uploadFolder-
// If you want full control over how the stream is saved then derive from MultipartFormDataStreamProvider and override what you need.
MultipartFormDataStreamProvider streamProvider = new MultipartFormDataStreamProvider(uploadFolder );
MultipartFileStreamProvider multipartFileStreamProvider = await Request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(streamProvider);
// Get the file names.
foreach (MultipartFileData file in streamProvider.FileData)
{
//Do something awesome with the files..
}
}
