It uses HTML5&#8217;s drag and drop API and Ajax to improve the user experience of file uploading. To use Dropzone.js in your ASP.NET MVC application, follow these steps:<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Step 1: Download Dropzone.js<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0Alternatively, you can use a CDN to load the library. Add the following code to your project&#8217;s layout page, preferably just before the closing &#8220;body&#8221; tag: &#8220;`<\/p><p>&lt;script src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/dropzone\/5.7.2\/min\/dropzone.min.js&#8221;&gt;&lt;\/script&gt; &lt;link rel=&#8221;stylesheet&#8221; href=&#8221;https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/dropzone\/5.7.2\/min\/dropzone.min.css&#8221; \/&gt;<\/p><p>Step 2: Setup a Form Next, create a form in your view that will contain the Dropzone.js instance. You can use regular HTML form elements or use the ASP.NET MVC helper methods to create the form. For example:<\/p><p>@using (Html.BeginForm(&#8220;Upload&#8221;, &#8220;Home&#8221;, FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = &#8220;multipart\/form-data&#8221;, @class = &#8220;dropzone&#8221;, id = &#8220;file-upload-form&#8221; })) { &lt;div class=&#8221;fallback&#8221;&gt; &lt;input type=&#8221;file&#8221; name=&#8221;file&#8221; \/&gt; &lt;\/div&gt; &lt;button type=&#8221;submit&#8221; class=&#8221;btn btn-primary&#8221;&gt;Upload&lt;\/button&gt; }<\/p><p>Note that we are using the \u201cdropzone\u201d CSS class to define the form, which is important for Dropzone.js to work properly.<\/p><p>Step 3: Configure Dropzone In the same view, add the following JavaScript code to configure Dropzone.js:<\/p><p>&lt;script type=&#8221;text\/javascript&#8221;&gt; $(document).ready(function () { Dropzone.autoDiscover = false; $(&#8220;#file-upload-form&#8221;).dropzone({ \/\/ Set any desired options for dropzone \/\/ For example, you can set upload URL and max file size url: &#8216;@Url.Action(&#8220;Upload&#8221;, &#8220;Home&#8221;)&#8217;, maxFilesize: 3, maxFiles: 10 }); });<\/p><p>&lt;\/script&gt; &#8220;` In the above code, we have disabled automatic discovering of Dropzone instances, as we are manually initializing it on our form. Then we are providing a custom upload URL and setting the max file size and max files allowed.<span id=\"a-712601830.2273446\" class=\"match inexact-match\" title=\"84% match\" data-source-url=\"https:\/\/www.c-sharpcorner.com\/UploadFile\/3d39b4\/getting-data-from-view-to-controller-in-mvc\" data-match-num=\"3\" data-similarity-score=\"84%\" data-source-id=\"www.c-sharpcorner.com:70afb344\"> <\/span><\/p><p>Step 4:<\/p><p>MVC controller, create an action method to handle the file upload. For this example, we will create a method called \u201cUpload\u201d in the \u201cHomeController\u201d: &#8220;` [HttpPost] public ActionResult Upload(HttpPostedFileBase file) { if (file != null &amp;&amp; file.ContentLength &gt; 0) { var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName); var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(&#8220;~\/App_Data\/uploads&#8221;), fileName); file.SaveAs(path); } return RedirectToAction(&#8220;Index&#8221;); }<\/p><p>Step 5: Test the Upload Run your ASP.NET MVC application and browse to the view containing the form.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b424ee e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9b424ee\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>file upload in asp net mvc using dropzone js and html5 Dropzone.js is a popular JavaScript library that provides an easy way to upload files in an ASP.NET MVC application.
