ASP.NET MVC: How To Capture A New Row ID With A Form Using Uploadify?
  • rune007rune007
    Hi - I am using Uploadify with ASP.NET MVC 3.

    I have a form where I create new NewsItems, so I take in information like Title, Content, etc., on the form people can upload media with the Uploadify. One NewsItemID have several media files uploaded with Uploadify.

    When I submit the form I can get a new NewsItemID back from the database, I need to know this NewItemsID, when Uploadify starts to upload it's media files. In order to associate the media files with the NewsItem.

    How shall I do that?

    When the Create_New_NewsItem form submits it calls this method:

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult AddNews(NewsItemModel model)
    (Inside this method I can get the new NewsItemID.)

    For every media file (photo or video) that Uploadify uploads it calls this method:

    public string Upload(HttpPostedFileBase fileData)

    Both methods live on the same controller, I can only know the new NewsItemID after AddNews(NewsItemModel model) method has been called.

    Is it possible that I can arrange my code so that I can have the new NewsItemID at hand when Upload(HttpPostedFileBase fileData) starts to iterate through the media files to be associated with the one NewsItemID?
