title: How to Upload Multiple Files Along with Other Form Fields, ASP.NET MVC
body: <p>So I have a single form on a page. There are several text input fields and such. Right now there is also a jQuery file upload control wherein you can select several files. The problem I have right now is that I'm requiring that the user upload the files first (using the jQuery control) and then I save those files in Session state until the regular form posts the rest of the form fields. Then I pull the previously uploaded files from Session and do what I need to do. </p>
  
  <p>So basically to fill out the form requires two separate POST operations back to the server. The files, then the remaining form fields.</p>
  
  <p>I'm thinking there must be a better way to let a user select his/her files yet not post anything until the user submits the main form to post all the other fields. I've read several posts on this site, but I can't find one that addresses this particular issue. </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions/assistance is greatly appreciated.</p>
