Kendo UI null parameters

If you use Kendo UI MVC helpers, then you should name your widget exactly as parameters names in your controller's actions.

For example, we create some upload widget:

<div>
@(Html.Kendo().Upload() .Name("attachments") .Async(async => async .Save("Save", "Home") .AutoUpload(true) ) )
</div>

As you can see, we name upload widget as "attachments". Now, we create Save action in our Home controller.

public ActionResult Save(IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> files) { foreach (var file in files) { var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName); var destinationPath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data"), fileName); file.SaveAs(destinationPath); } return Content(""); }

If you set breakpoint into Save action, you can see, that "files" parameter is null. To fix that issue, we rename "files" parameter as name of out upload widget, i.e. "attachments":

public ActionResult Save(IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> attachments) { foreach (var file in attachments) { var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName); var destinationPath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data"), fileName); file.SaveAs(destinationPath); } return Content(""); }

And that will work as you expect! Attachments are not null!
