Hi, Controller: [ HttpPost ] public ActionResult Index( FileUpload upload, HttpPostedFileBase file) { if (file.ContentLength > 0) { var fileName = Path .GetFileName(file.FileName); var guid = Guid .NewGuid().ToString(); var path = Path .Combine(Server.MapPath( "~/uploads" ), guid + fileName); file.SaveAs(path); string fl = path.Substring(path.LastIndexOf( "\" )); string [] split = fl.Split( '\' ); string newpath = split[1]; string imagepath = "~/uploads/" + newpath; upload.length = imagepath; db.FileUploads.Add(upload); db.SaveChanges(); } TempData[ "Success" ] = "Upload successful" ; return RedirectToAction( "Index" ); } View : form action ="" method ="post" enctype ="multipart/form-data"> label for ="file"> Upload File: label > input type ="file" name ="file" id ="file" /> input type ="submit" /> @ if (TempData[ "Success" ] != null ) { div class ="success"> p > @ TempData[ "Success" ].ToString() p > div > } form > If you get any problem to implement . visit the the below given link: http://www.articlemirror.in/2014/02/file-upload-and-save-path-to-database.html

You can use a byte[] on your model and a HttpPostedFileBase on your view model. See this example : Model : public class MyViewModel { [Required] public HttpPostedFileBase File { get; set; } } Controller : public class HomeController: Controller { public ActionResult Index() { var model = new MyViewModel(); return View(model); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(MyViewModel model) { if (!ModelState.IsValid) { return View(model); } byte[] uploadedFile = new byte[model.File.InputStream.Length]; model.File.InputStream.Read(uploadedFile, 0, uploadedFile.Length); // now you could pass the byte array to your model and store wherever // you intended to store it return Content("Thanks for uploading the file"); } } View : @model MyViewModel @using (Html.BeginForm(null, null, FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" })) { @Html.LabelFor(x => x.File) @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.File, new { type = "file" }) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.File) Upload } Reference : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15106190/uploading-files-into-database-with-asp-net-mvc
