Upload image from Silverlight to ASP .net MVC 2.0 Action
- by Raha
Hello ...
I have been trying really hard to Upload a photo from a Silverlight app to ASP .net MVC app.
I simply use WebClient like this in Silverlight :
private bool UploadFile(string fileName, Stream data)
{
try
{
UriBuilder ub = new UriBuilder("http://localhost:59933/Admin/Upload");
ub.Query = string.Format("filename={0}", fileName);
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.OpenReadCompleted += (sender, e) =>
{
PushData(data, e.Result);
e.Result.Close();
data.Close();
};
wc.OpenWriteAsync(ub.Uri);
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
return true;
}
private void PushData(Stream input, Stream output)
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int byteRead;
while ((byteRead = input.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
{
output.Write(buffer, 0, byteRead);
}
}
On the other hand I have created a simple action called Upload like this:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Upload()
{
//Some code here
}
The problem is that it doesn't hit the break point in Upload method.
Is this even possible ? The reason why I am using Silverlight is that I want to preview the image before uploading it to server and it is very simple in Silverlight.
I failed to do that in JavaScript and that is why Silverlight might be more useful here.
