i uploading xml , posting on action method.at top of received file there information ------webkitformboundarytuarn4bf71aoefqg content-disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="samplexmp.xml" content-type: text/xml because of cannot load on xdocument.this code

public actionresult postxml()     {         string xml = "";         if (request.inputstream != null)         {             streamreader stream = new streamreader(request.inputstream);             string x = stream.readtoend();             xml = httputility.urldecode(x);             var xmldocument = xdocument.parse(xml);//exception (invalid data @ root)         }         return view();     } 

this view

@using (html.beginform("postxml", "home", formmethod.post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" })) {    input type="file" name="file"          input type="submit" value="upload"   } 

how can remove additional data?

you don't want read whole stream because multipart , going have part boundaries written whole stream.

the correct way of reading uploaded file in mvc

[httppost] public actionresult upload(httppostedfilebase file) {     try     {         if (file.contentlength > 0)         {             var filename = path.getfilename(file.filename);             var path = path.combine(server.mappath("~/app_data/images"), filename);             file.saveas(path);         }         viewbag.message = "upload successful";         return redirecttoaction("index");     }     catch     {         viewbag.message = "upload failed";         return redirecttoaction("uploads");     } }
