I want to get all files that are selected in input file to c# object, but it select only one files from mutiselected files to display in text box.

What I have tried:

Input file to select multiple files:

<input type="file" name="File2" id="File2" accept="image/*" multiple/>

Input text to display all selected files:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.DocumentName, new { htmlAttributes = new { @id = "documentName", @class = "form-control" } })

Model:

[Display(Name = "DocumentName", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources))]
       public override string DocumentName
       {
           get { return base.DocumentName; }
           set { base.DocumentName = value; }
       }

What changes are required in my code, to resolve it?

You can Add this in your script. This should work when you try to select multiple files on upload, for example, in OnChange Functionality.

JavaScript

 $("document").ready(function(){
$("#File2").change(function() {
    var files = $(this)[0].files;
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
    $("#documentName").val(files[i].name);
}    });});
