Upload and redirect to another action

[Samir]

Hi there,

Is there any way tha I can upload asynchronously and then redirect to another action. I know this is possible using if uploading synonymously.

Thanks

Hello Samir,

The asynchronous upload is much like any other AJAX request - you can't redirect the calling page from it.

The redirect must be done with JavaScript in the OnSuccess handler:

function onSuccess(e) {
    window.location.href = e.response.nextActionUrl;
}

The nextActionUrl is set by the Save action:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Save(IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> attachments)
{
    return Json(new { nextActionUrl = Url.Action("Action", "Controller") }, "text/plain");
}

Brilliant, that's what I was looking for.

Thanks very much.
