Hello im trying to access an image from a post request with MultipartFormDataStreamProvider. So far it seems successful other than when i try to create a file steam from the local name, the file is then in use. How do i get the current open stream to read the file, or get the old stream to close?
*Note: Please ignore the not so great try catch.
What I have so far:
[ResponseType(typeof(AdminImage))]
public IHttpActionResult PostAdminImage([FromUri]AdminImage adminImage)
{
if (!Request.Content.IsMimeMultipartContent())
{
throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.UnsupportedMediaType);
}
string root = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data");
var provider = new MultipartFormDataStreamProvider(root);
try
{
Request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(provider);
foreach (MultipartFileData file in provider.FileData)
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream(file.LocalFileName, FileMode.Open);
adminImage.ImageContent = adminImage.ImageToByteArray(Image.FromStream(fs));
}
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return BadRequest(ModelState);
}
db.AdminImages.Add(adminImage);
db.SaveChanges();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return InternalServerError();
}
return CreatedAtRoute("DefaultApi", new { id = adminImage.Id }, adminImage);
}
