Model :

public class Employee
{
    [Key]
    public int ID { get; set; }
    [Required]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    [Required]
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string ImageName { get; set; }
}

Controller

    private readonly RegisterDBContext _context;
    private readonly IHostingEnvironment _appEnvironment;


    public EmployeeController(RegisterDBContext context, IHostingEnvironment appEnvironment)
    {

        _context = context;
        _appEnvironment = appEnvironment;
    }


    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Create(Employee emp)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            var files = HttpContext.Request.Form.Files;
            foreach (var Image in files)
            {
                if (Image != null && Image.Length > 0)
                {
                    var file = Image;
                    //There is an error here
                    var uploads = Path.Combine(_appEnvironment.WebRootPath, "uploads\\img");
                    if (file.Length > 0)
                    {
                        var fileName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "") + Path.GetExtension(file.FileName);
                        using (var fileStream = new FileStream(Path.Combine(uploads, fileName), FileMode.Create))
                        {
                            await file.CopyToAsync(fileStream);
                            emp.BookPic = fileName;
                        }

                    }
                }
            }
            _context.Add(emp);
            await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }
        else
        {
            var errors = ModelState.Values.SelectMany(v => v.Errors);
        }
        return View(emp);
    }

When i click on submit button i get an error (error line is marked), how can i upload image or file in Specified path?

Error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

imageuploader.Controllers.EmployeeController+<Create>d__2.MoveNext() in EmployeeController.cs

                        var uploads = Path.Combine(_appEnvironmen.WebRootPath, "uploads\\img\\");

How can i upload image correctly in Specified path?

Answer 1

Here is how to upload an image in C# Asp.net core Web Application 2.1 MVC:

First I'm assuming you've created a model, added to db and now working in the controller.

I've created a Person model person model

For create get:

 //Get : Person Create
        public IActionResult Create()
        {
            return View();
        }

post Action (please see screen shot) create post action method

Finally the view Create View
