Display existing files in an MVC form

[Reynner]

Hi,

I want to display the existing files based on the value of the HttpPostedFileBase properties in my view model. How can I achieve this without using asynchronous uploading?

I tried what is written in this blog but whenever I save the form, the value of the files are lost.

Form:
@(Html.Kendo().Upload()
                                        .Name("LogoImage")
                                        .Multiple(false)
                                        .Messages(m => m.Select("Upload"))
                                        .Validation(validation => validation
                                            .AllowedExtensions(new string[] { ".gif", ".jpg", ".png" })
                                            .MaxFileSize(2097152)
                                        )
                    )

View model:
public HttpPostedFileBase LogoImage { get; set; }

Hello Reynner,

The files can be rendered initially in the file list of the Upload widget by using the file configuration. I am afraid that this option is available only when the Upload is in async mode. As far as I see in the provided blog post async upload is also used.
You could take a look of Initial files Demo, where it is demonstrated how to persist the previously uploaded files.
Here is also a link to StackOverflow where similar issue have been discussed.

is there any way to maintain files for synchronized upload?

Hello Zahid,

If you need to display the existing files asynchronous mode should be used. In synchronous mode, the Upload functions similarly to a standard input type="file" element, and the population of the initial files is not implemented for this mode.
