I have a situation where I am getting an image as httppostedfilebase type in my MVC code. I have a corresponding Image type column in my SQL db.
I need to know how do I convert/Save this httppostedfilebase type as image in my DB.
Create a function to convert HttpPostedFileBase object to file
public byte[] ConvertToByte(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
byte[] imageByte = null;
BinaryReader rdr = new BinaryReader(file.InputStream);
imageByte = rdr.ReadBytes((int)file.ContentLength);
return imageByte;
}
Code like this in Your Controller
public ActionResult Create(AdminDetailsViewModel viewmodel)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
HttpPostedFileBase file = Request.Files["ImageData"];
viewmodel.Image = ConvertToByte(file);
db.YourDbContextSet.Add(viewmodel);
db.SaveChanges();
}
}
Hope this will help
