How do I convert httppostedfilebase to httppostedfile in C#? Here is my demo code sinppet:
HttpFileCollectionBase files = Request.Files;
for (int i = 0; i < files.Count; i++)
{
var file = files.Get(i);
}
Any helpful link or example code?
To convert httppostedfilebase to httppostedfile you can use the below code
List<UploadedFile> uploadedFiles = new List<UploadedFile>();
var files = Request.Files;
for (int i = 0; i < files.Count; i++)
{
var file = files.Get(i);
var constructorInfo = typeof(HttpPostedFile).GetConstructors(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)[0];
var obj = (HttpPostedFile)constructorInfo
.Invoke(new object[] { file.FileName, file.ContentType, file.InputStream });
uploadedFiles.Add(new UploadedFile(obj));
}
Here is the well explained (using comments) C# method
public HttpPostedFile ConstructHttpPostedFile(byte[] data, string filename, string contentType) {
// Get the System.Web assembly reference
Assembly systemWebAssembly = typeof (HttpPostedFileBase).Assembly;
// Get the types of the two internal types we need
Type typeHttpRawUploadedContent = systemWebAssembly.GetType("System.Web.HttpRawUploadedContent");
Type typeHttpInputStream = systemWebAssembly.GetType("System.Web.HttpInputStream");
// Prepare the signatures of the constructors we want.
Type[] uploadedParams = { typeof(int), typeof(int) };
Type[] streamParams = {typeHttpRawUploadedContent, typeof (int), typeof (int)};
Type[] parameters = { typeof(string), typeof(string), typeHttpInputStream };
// Create an HttpRawUploadedContent instance
object uploadedContent = typeHttpRawUploadedContent
.GetConstructor(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance, null, uploadedParams, null)
.Invoke(new object[]{data.Length, data.Length});
// Call the AddBytes method
typeHttpRawUploadedContent
.GetMethod("AddBytes", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)
.Invoke(uploadedContent, new object[] {data, 0, data.Length});
// This is necessary if you will be using the returned content (ie to Save)
typeHttpRawUploadedContent
.GetMethod("DoneAddingBytes", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)
.Invoke(uploadedContent, null);
// Create an HttpInputStream instance
object stream = (Stream)typeHttpInputStream
.GetConstructor(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance, null, streamParams, null)
.Invoke(new object[] {uploadedContent, 0, data.Length});
// Create an HttpPostedFile instance
HttpPostedFile postedFile = (HttpPostedFile)typeof(HttpPostedFile)
.GetConstructor(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance, null, parameters, null)
.Invoke(new object[] {filename, contentType, stream});
return postedFile;
}
