{ @html.antiforgerytoken()

<div class="form-horizontal">     <h4>createnew</h4>     <hr />     @html.validationsummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })     <div class="form-group">         @html.labelfor(model => model.categoryid, htmlattributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })         <div class="col-md-10">             @html.editorfor(model => model.categoryid, new { htmlattributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })             @html.validationmessagefor(model => model.categoryid, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })         </div>     </div>      <div class="form-group">         @*@using (html.beginform("upload", "createnews", formmethod.post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))         {*@             <table>                 <tr>                     <td>file:</td>                     <td>                         <input type="file" name="uploadedfile" />                     </td>                 </tr>                 <tr>                     <td colspan="2">                         @*<input type="submit" name="upload" value="submit" />*@                     </td>                 </tr>             </table>         @*}*@         @html.labelfor(model => model.complete_zip_file, htmlattributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })         <div class="col-md-10">             @html.editorfor(model => model.complete_zip_file, new { htmlattributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })             @html.validationmessagefor(model => model.complete_zip_file, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })         </div>     </div>      <div class="form-group">         @html.labelfor(model => model.categoryname, htmlattributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })         <div class="col-md-10">             @html.editorfor(model => model.categoryname, new { htmlattributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })             @html.validationmessagefor(model => model.categoryname, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })         </div>     </div>      <div class="form-group">         @html.labelfor(model => model.subcategoryid, htmlattributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })         <div class="col-md-10">             @html.editorfor(model => model.subcategoryid, new { htmlattributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })             @html.validationmessagefor(model => model.subcategoryid, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })         </div>     </div>      <div class="form-group">         @html.labelfor(model => model.subcategoryname, htmlattributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })         <div class="col-md-10">             @html.editorfor(model => model.subcategoryname, new { htmlattributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })             @html.validationmessagefor(model => model.subcategoryname, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })         </div>     </div>      <div class="form-group">         <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">             @*<input type="submit" value="create" class="btn btn-default" />*@<input type="submit" name="upload" value="submit" />         </div>     </div> </div> 

}

then have written following code in controller: public actionresult upload([bind(include = "categoryid,complete_zip_file,categoryname,subcategoryid,subcategoryname")] createnew createnew) {

        if (request != null)         {             httppostedfilebase file = request.files["uploadedfile"];              if ((file != null) && (file.contentlength > 0) && !string.isnullorempty(file.filename))             {                 string filename = file.filename;                 string filecontenttype = file.contenttype;                 byte[] filebytes = new byte[file.contentlength];                 file.inputstream.read(filebytes, 0, convert.toint32(file.contentlength));                  createnew.complete_zip_file = filebytes;         }}          if (modelstate.isvalid)         {              db.createnews.add(createnew);             db.savechanges();             return redirecttoaction("index");         }          //return view(createnew)         return view("create");     } 

now, result getting stored in appropriate field. now, have make available download. so, how can convert varbinary format zip file again?

thanks in advance.

you dont need convert varbinary zip. can directly write response.

    public actionresult download()     {         //read varbinary field db         byte[] output = getoutputfromdb();         return file(output, "application/zip", "filename.zip");     }
