Answer 1

Do you have
enctype="multipart/form-data"
property in your form element?

Answer 2

<form id="upload">
<input type="file" id="file" class="form-control">
</form>
Jquery
$('#upload').submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault(); // stop the standard form submission
var File_Name = $("#file").prop('files')[0].name;
var ext = File_Name.split('.').pop();
if (ext == "pdf" || ext == "docx" || ext == "doc" || ext == "png" || ext ==
"jpg" || ext == "jpeg" || ext == "txt") {
var lastIndex = $("#file").prop('files')[0].name.lastIndexOf(".") + 1;
var form = new FormData();
form.append("file", $("#file").prop('files')[0]);
$.ajax({
url: '/Main/SaveDocument',
type: 'POST',
data: form,
cache: false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success: function (data) {
console.log(data.UploadedFileCount + ' file(s) uploaded successfully');
if (data == "999") {
swal("Note", "Some Error Occurred. File Not uploaded successfully.", "error");
}
},
error: function (xhr, error, status) {
console.log(error, status + " " + xhr);
}
});
}
else {
swal("Note", "File Type Not Supported.", "warning");
}
});
C#
public ActionResult SaveDocument()
{
//file
var file = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Files["file"];
var CheckCnic = hr_FTPEntities.File_description.Where(x => x.uploader_CNIC == userCNIC).FirstOrDefault();
if(CheckCnic == null)
{
HttpPostedFileBase filebase = new HttpPostedFileWrapper(file);
if (filebase.ContentLength > 0)
{
var fileName = Path.GetFileName(filebase.FileName);
string path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(basePath + departmentName) + "/");
File_description file_Description = new File_description();
int fileCount = hr_FTPEntities.File_description.Select(x => x).ToList().Count + 1;
int lastIndexOfDot = fileName.LastIndexOf(".") - 1;
string finalFileName = fileName.Substring(0, lastIndexOfDot) + "_" + fileCount + fileName.Substring(lastIndexOfDot + 1);
file_Description.file_name = finalFileName.ToString();
try
{
filebase.SaveAs(path + (finalFileName));
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
return Json("999");
}
}
return Json("000");
}
else
{
return Json("888");
}
}

You could try to use the below code:
View(Index.cshtml) :
<input type="file" id="FileUpload1" />
<input type="button" id="btnUpload" value="Upload Files" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#btnUpload').click(function () {
// Checking whether FormData is available in browser
if (window.FormData !== undefined) {
var fileUpload = $("#FileUpload1").get(0);
var files = fileUpload.files;
// Create FormData object
var fileData = new FormData();
// Looping over all files and add it to FormData object
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
fileData.append(files[i].name, files[i]);
}
// Adding one more key to FormData object
fileData.append('username', 'test');
$.ajax({
url: '/Home/UploadFiles',
type: "POST",
contentType: false, // Not to set any content header
processData: false, // Not to process data
data: fileData,
success: function (result) {
alert(result);
},
error: function (err) {
alert(err.statusText);
}
});
} else {
alert("FormData is not supported.");
}
});
});
</script>
Controller (HomeController.cs):
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadFiles()
{
// Checking no of files injected in Request object
if (Request.Files.Count > 0)
{
try
{
// Get all files from Request object
HttpFileCollectionBase files = Request.Files;
for (int i = 0; i < files.Count; i++)
{
//string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "Uploads/";
//string filename = Path.GetFileName(Request.Files[i].FileName);
HttpPostedFileBase file = files[i];
string fname;
// Checking for Internet Explorer
if (Request.Browser.Browser.ToUpper() == "IE" || Request.Browser.Browser.ToUpper() == "INTERNETEXPLORER")
{
string[] testfiles = file.FileName.Split(new char[] { '\\' });
fname = testfiles[testfiles.Length - 1];
}
else
{
fname = file.FileName;
}
// Get the complete folder path and store the file inside it.
fname = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Uploads/"), fname);
file.SaveAs(fname);
}
// Returns message that successfully uploaded
return Json("File Uploaded Successfully!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return Json("Error occurred. Error details: " + ex.Message);
}
}
else
{
return Json("No files selected.");
}
}
Make sure your IIS site contains the upload folder and enough permission to access the folder.
If you still face the same issue then try to use the different browser.
check event viewer logs or try to collect the dup and analyze the dump using the DebugDiag tool.
