public ActionResult SchoolCreate(_ASI_School schoolToCreate, FormCollection collection)
        {
            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
                return View();
            try
            {
                // TODO: Add insert logic here
                schoolToCreate.SchoolId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
                schoolToCreate.UserId = new Guid(Request.Form["currentUser"]);
                schoolToCreate.SchoolAddedBy = User.Identity.Name;
                HttpPostedFileBase file = Request.Files["SchoolImageUrl"];
                file.SaveAs(file.FileName);
                //schoolToCreate.SchoolImageUrl = Reuseable.ImageUpload(Request.Files["SchoolImageUrl"], Server.MapPath("../Content"));
                //schoolToCreate.SchoolImageUrl = Path.GetFullPath(Request.Files[0].FileName);
