I'm in the process of trying to get the jQuery plugin, Uploadify, to work with ASP.NET MVC.
I've got the plugin showing up fine:
With the following javascript snippet:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#fileUpload').fileUpload({
'uploader': '/Content/Flash/uploader.swf',
'script': '/Placement/Upload',
'folder': '/uploads',
'multi': 'true',
'buttonText': 'Browse',
'displayData': 'speed',
'simUploadLimit': 2,
'cancelImg': '/Content/Images/cancel.png'
});
});
</script>
Which seems like all is well in good. If you notice, the "script" attribute is set to my /Placement/Upload, which is my Placement Controller and my Upload Action.
The main problem is, I'm having difficulty getting this action to fire to receive the file. I've set a breakpoint on that action and when I select a file to upload, it isn't getting executed.
I've tried changing the method signature based off this article:
public string Upload(HttpPostedFileBase FileData)
{
/*
*
* Do something with the FileData
*
*/
return "Upload OK!";
}
But this still doesn't fire.
Can anyone help me write and get the Upload controller action's signature correctly so it will actually fire? I can then handle dealing with the file data myself. I just need some help getting the method action to fire.
