Please go through the DancingGoat MVC project with the following files for Image Widget.

\Kentico12\DancingGoatMvc\Controllers\Widgets\ImageWidgetController.cs
\DancingGoatMvc\Models\Widgets\ImageWidget\ImageWidgetViewModel.cs
\DancingGoatMvc\Views\Shared\Widgets\_ImageWidget.cshtml

Reference URL - https://docs.kentico.com/k12/developing-websites/page-builder-development/developing-widgets-in-mvc

Hope this helps.

hi vasu, can you help me? ImageUploadEditorController gives error in AddUnsortedAttachment() method

if (!(Request.Files[requestFileName] is HttpPostedFileWrapper file)) { return Guid.Empty; }

        var directoryPath = EnsureUploadDirectory();
        var imagePath = GetTempFilePath(directoryPath, file);
        byte[] data = new byte[file.ContentLength];
        file.InputStream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
        file.InputStream.Read(data, 0, file.ContentLength);
        When create object of HttpPostedFileWrapper as file it gives error

Hi Muhammad,

Was wondering if you were able to fix the issue with the image upload. I have the same issue, copied all the relevant files from DancingGoat, when I use the bannerWidget, all I get is the text widget but don't see the Image upload option.
