使用Web API2上传文件作为正文的一部分

Question

I want to create WebAPI POST request which gets the body and save it in Database. One of the body's fields is a file , which can be the image, pdf, ...

should I create a Async Post request and post the file to that? This is the sample I found for that. http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/.net/uploading-files-asynchronously-using-asp.net-web-api.htm

Answer 1

You can try using 'HttpPostedFileBase' class to post the file as part of the Http request Body. Something like this:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadFile(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
  // you API code
}
