Trying to get File uploads to work in ASP.NET MVC but Request.Files is always empty?
There a few things you might have done wrong!
The form tag must have enctype=”multipart/form-data” and your file input tag must have a name not just an id like below.
<% using(Html.BeginRouteForm("submission_create_path", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" })) { %> <input id="sourceCode" name="sourceCode" type="file" /> <input type="submit" value="Upload" /> <% } %>
If you get this error using VMWare ESX 4.0 it is because either your CPU does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for 64bit guest operating systems or you have not properly configured the host hardware.

Urlorize converts strings to Url friendly strings.
public static class UrlorizeExtensions { private readonly static Regex cleaner = new Regex("[^a-z0-9 ]+", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); private readonly static Regex spaceMinimizer = new Regex("[ ]+", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); public static string Urlorize(this HtmlHelper helper, string value) { value = cleaner.Replace(value, " "); value = spaceMinimizer.Replace(value, " "); value = value.Replace(" ", "-"); return value.ToLower(); } }
Usage:
<%=Html.Urlorize("test test test") %>
