ASP.Net MVC 4 Project Of a Photo Gallery

The project shown in this article shows user login, user registration and how to upload and display images in ASP.Net MVC in C#.

First we will do a user login and then maintain a photo gallery. That is, the user uploads multiple images at once and those images will be added to a photo gallery. We can divide the user photo gallery functionality into the following 3 processes:

  1. User Login (if one does not exist then register).

  2. User uploads images to create a new photo gallery. Store the gallery details into the database.

  3. Display uploaded images.

Now first create the user table in the database.

  1. CREATE TABLE tbl_User(UserId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,UserName varchar(100) NOT NULL, Email varchar(100) NOT NULL,Password varchar(50) NOT NULL)  
  2.   
  3. CREATE TABLE tbl_Gallery(ImageId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, ImageName varchar(50) NOT NULL, Photo image NOT NULL, Fk_UserId int NOT NULL)  
After creating table create the application. New -> website.

website

Provide the name “PhotoGalleryofUserInMVC”.

web application

basic

Now create a UserPhotoGalleryMaster Class by right-clicking on the Models folder then select Add a New Item.
  1. public class UserPhotoGalleryMaster  
  2. {  
  3.       
  4.     [Required]  
  5.     public string UserName { get; set; }  
  6.   
  7.     [Required]  
  8.     [Display(Name = "Email")]  
  9.     public string Email { get; set; }  
  10.   
  11.     [Required]  
  12.     [DataType(DataType.Password)]  
  13.     [Display(Name = "Password")]  
  14.     public string Password { get; set; }  
  15.   
  16.   
  17.     public int ImageId { get; set; }  
  18.     public string ImageName { get; set; }  
  19.     public byte[] Image { get; set; }  
  20.     public int Fk_UserId { get; set; }  
  21. }  
Now create a UserPhotoGalleryService class by right-clicking on the Models folder as Add a New Item for doing the ADO.Net database operation of user login, registration and photo gallery.
  1. namespace PhotoGalleryofUserInMVC.Models  
  2. {  
  3.    public class UserPhotoGalleryService  
  4.    {  
  5.    }  
  6. }  
Now create a controller user by right-clicking on the controller folder and select add as controller.

controller

Now right-click on the ActionResult method in the controller, to create a View for User login. Create a view as a strongly typed view and choose the UserPhotoGalleryMaster model class from the list. It is shown as in the following figure. If the UserPhotoGalleryMaster model class is not in the list, then you should build the application. Then do the preceding process.

view name

Now this is the User Login view.
  1. @model PhotoGalleryofUserInMVC.Models.UserPhotoGalleryMaster  
  2.   
  3. @{  
  4.     ViewBag.Title = "UserLogin";

  19.                 alert("Enter Email !")  
  20.                 document.getElementById("Email").focus();  
  21.                 return false;  
  22.             }  
  23.

Use the same process for the registration page. First write the following action result.
  1. public ActionResult RegisterUser()  
  2. {

  4. }  
Now right-click on the ActionResult method in the controller, to create a View for User Registration.

Now this is User Registration view.

Now create a controller ManagePhotoGallery by right-clicking on the controller folder and select Add as controller.

Than follow the same process for creating view as above.

The ManagePhotoGallery view is as in the following:
