How to upload a file file type of .pdf, .docx and .doc in mvc

I believe this would help

public void Insert(FileloadView doc)
{
    using (var rep = new FileloadRepository())
    {
        rep.Insert(ConvertToDocuments(doc));
    }
}

private static FileLoad ConvertToDocuments(FileloadView doc)
{
    FileLoad FileUplodModel = new FileLoad();
    foreach (var item in doc.File)
    {
        byte [] uploadFile = new byte[item.InputStream.Length];
        item.InputStream.Read(uploadFile, 0, uploadFile.Length);
        FileUplodModel.FileName = item.FileName;
        FileUplodModel.File = uploadFile;

    }
    return FileUplodModel;
}

and then apply the following code in the controller

private readonly FileloadBusiness _db = new FileloadBusiness();

public ActionResult Creating()
{
return View();
}


[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Creating(FileloadView doc)
{
try
{
_db.Insert(doc);

return RedirectToAction("Uploaded");
}
catch (Exception e)
{

return View();
}
}

And add this to your View
@using (Html.BeginForm(null, null, FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()


}

If the client is using an html5 browser that supports fileapi then you can use that to determine the type, size etc before allowing an upload

For those without html5 you'll just need to let them upload any file they want and check the extension (or file type) after it has been uploaded to decide if you want to keep the file. Doing the html5 is a nice to have but doing server validation is vital as a malicious user can easily get around your javascript.
