+message: "How about saving it to a database. So lets say an array instead.\r\nI am trying to use:\r\n[HttpPost]\r\n[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]\r\npublic async Task<IActionResult> Create(Bind[\"Binding here\"]Person person)\r\n{\r\n      \r\n    List<Person> list = new List<Person>();\r\n    if (Request.Form.Files.Count > 0)\r\n    {\r\n        var dataStream = new MemoryStream();\r\n        for (var i = 0; i < Request.Form.Files.Count;i++)\r\n        {\r\n            var files = Request.Form.Files[i];\r\n            await files.CopyToAsync(dataStream);\r\n            person.Files[i].Name = files.FileName;\r\n            person.Files[i].Data = dataStream.ToArray();\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n    list.Add(person);\r\n    return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index));\r\n}\r\nRazor View:\r\n\r\n<form action=\"\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">\r\n    \r\n  <label for=\"file1\">Filename:</label>\r\n  <input type=\"file\" name=\"files\" id=\"file1\" />\r\n  \r\n  <label>File</label>\r\n for(var i = 0; i < 2; i++)\r\n{\r\n    <input type=\"file\" accept=\".pdf\" asp-for=\"Files[i].Data\" class=\"form-control\" \r\n                id=\"Files[i].Data\" data-for=\"Files\" />\r\n}\r\n\r\n  <input type=\"submit\"  />\r\n</form>\r\nYou can mess with the DOM to add more rows of inputs.\r\nI was looking for a more finessed way of one input with multiple files like below\r\n<input type=\"file\" accept=\".pdf\" multiple />\r\nWhen I do I get   the error \"index out of range\".\r\nAny thoughts?\r\n\r\n"
