Upload And Save Images in Server Folder in Silverlight



We can upload images and save those images in a folder in our server side.

Step 1: Upload Images in Silverlight:

We have one Button named "Upload Image" on the click event of this button we have the following code to upload the image.

        private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
            openFileDialog.Filter = "JPEG files|*.jpg";
           
//openFileDialog.Filter = "Images (*.jpg, *.png, *.bmp)|*.jpg;*.png;*.bmp";
            if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == true)
            {
                Stream stream = (Stream)openFileDialog.File.OpenRead();
                byte[] bytes = new byte[stream.Length];
                stream.Read(bytes, 0, (int)stream.Length);
                bi = new BitmapImage();
                bi.SetSource(stream);
                Myimage.Source = bi;
                string fileName = openFileDialog.File.Name;
            }

Now we will get one Dialog file by click on uploadimage button as follows:

Step 2: Save Uploaded images in server folder as follow.

Make one service where we have code for saving an image file in a folder in the server.

Make a folder in the server named "Images".

In service.svc.cs we have the following code:

       
[OperationContract]
        public bool Upload(ImageFile image)
        {
            FileStream fileStream = null;
            BinaryWriter writer = null;
            string filePath;
           
try
            {
                filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(".") + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PictureUploadDirectory"] + image.ImageName;
                if (image.ImageName != string.Empty)
                {
                    fileStream = File.Open(filePath, FileMode.Create);
                    writer = new BinaryWriter(fileStream);
                    writer.Write(image.ImageName);
                }
                return true;
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return false;
            }
            finally
            {
                if (fileStream != null)  
                    fileStream.Close();
                if (writer != null)    
                    writer.Close();
            }
        }

In Web.config we have the following setting for the server folder where we saved the images:

  <configuration>
  <
appSettings>
    <
add key="PictureUploadDirectory" value="/Images/"/>
  </appSettings>

Here Images is a folder.

After Succesfully uploading images we will get the following output:

upload image in silverlight

Now we can see the Image folder where uploaded images are saved.

Summary

We can upload and save the images in the server folder in Silverlight.
