    Programmatically inserting a File Upload into a Contour entries table - RecordField

    Hi there,

    The way we have recently been working with Contour is to have a bespoke form (fluentValidation/Unit testing reasons) that hooks into Contour and saves the records by generating a RecordField from fromo values.

    private void GenerateRecordField(Record record, Field field, object value)
           {
              Guid key = Guid.NewGuid();
             RecordField recordField = new RecordField()
                {
                  Field = field,
                 Key = key,
                 Record = record.Id,
                    Values = new List<object>() { value }
                };
             var recordFieldStorage = new RecordFieldStorage();
             recordFieldStorage.InsertRecordField(recordField);
             record.RecordFields.Add(key, recordField);
         }

     

    This has worked brilliantly for text fields but how do I prepare a file upload for Contour.

    I have tried passing the HtmlInputFile to the RecordField Value list<object>.

    Is there a different type other than RecordField that is needed?

    Thanks.

    Passing a htmlInputFile won't work you'll just need to pass it the path to the file as a string

    So you'll have to handle the upload in your own code for the time being since the upload is happening in the upload control

    if (fu != null && fu.UploadControl.HasFile)
                {
                    _value.Clear();
                    
                    string dir = Configuration.Path + "/files/" + this.AssociatedField.Form.ToString() + "/" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + "/";

                    if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(dir)))
                        System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(dir));

                    fu.UploadControl.SaveAs(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(dir + SafeUrl(fu.UploadControl.FileName)));

                    _value.Add(dir + SafeUrl(fu.UploadControl.FileName));
                }
