I am new to jQuery and AJAX and I am trying to upload image to my server using it. I have a simple html page
<body>
<script src=".3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="script.js"></script>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input id="profilePic" name="picture" type="file" size="1" onchange="uploadFile('profilePic');" />
</form>
where script file is
function uploadFile(inputId) {
var fileUpload = $("#" +inputId).get(0);
var files = fileUpload.files;
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append(files[0].name, files[0]);
$.ajax({
url: '/Image/File',
type: 'POST',
data: formData,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
success: function (result) {
}
});
In my controller named ImageController I have a POST method named File which takes zero arguments:
[HttpPost]
public IActionResult File()
{
var file = Request.Form.Files[0];
if (file != null)
{
//work
}
return null;
}
but everytime I submit an image to form nothing happens and I get code 500: internal server error, failed to load resource. I have placed breakpoints in my code but it never entered the File method. What am I doing wrong? htmlpage and script are located in wwwroot, controller is in Controllers folder.

You should check that. – Rory McCrossan Commented Aug 28, 2018 at 14:50
- All Google Chrome says is: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) Image/File:1 – user5512248 Commented Aug 28, 2018 at 14:53

Reset to default 4First, your action should take the image as a param:
// Don't use `File` here. You're hiding the base `File` method.
public IActionResult FileUpload(IFormFile file)
{
// Always check content length
if (file?.ContentLength > 0)
{
//work
}
return null;
}
Then, in your JS, the first param to FormData.append
should be data name, not the name of the file. Since the action param is file
, the name here should be file
as well:
formData.append('file', files[0]);
