Hi All,

I wonder if I might ask some Umbraco-y, Razor-y advice here? :) having a devil of a job getting a file upload in a form to work.  Now, I've tested a lot of code posted on these forums in the past, and none of it appeared to work - though admittedly some were a year or more old - which tells me that either something has changed about MVC in Umbraco 6.1.6 (which I am running here) or there is something subtle about the specific environment I have which is causing it to fail,  but I believe the code I have here to be sound (possibly not - the reason for posting here by way of a sanity check!)

The form (rendered at the bottom of the Razor macro) looks like:

<form role="form" id="some-form" action="#" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

...

...

<input type="file" id="uploadfile" name="uploadfile">

...

</form>

THEN! At the top of this same Macro, I'm doing:

if (IsPost)

    {

 if (Request.Form["uploadfile"] != null)

                        {

                            if( Request.Files.Count > 0) {

                            var file = Request.Files[0];

                            var fileName = file.FileName;

  var attachment = new Attachment(file.InputStream, fileName);  

                            mail.Attachments.Add(attachment);

}

...

...

}

The reason it appears to fail is that Request.Files is always empty - even though Request.Form["uploadfile"] appears to correctly return the (string) filename of the file uploaded.  Request.Files.Count will always return 0 and of course trying to access Request.Files[0] will alwas throw an index out of bounds-like exception.

I don't suppose anyone has any ideas what may cause this? :) Particularly puzzling that the filename itself is available in Request.Form["<form element name>"] and yet this does not cause anything to be available in Request.Files

Many thanks for any help or insight!
