Files on the client? Files on the sever? Files somewhere else? Are you uploading these files? What does the scanning entail?

Google "mvc upload file" and "mvc save file in database" and you should find examples of some of these things.

files on server. like when click on button scanning start and that scanned image save on sever.

I'm going to assume you want to scan files from a scanner attached to the client and upload them to the web server. To do that you'll need a scanner that comes with software that allows a webpage to access it as there is no native support for that in html, however features like access to devices will eventually come to html5. Or you can use a TWAIN SDK that works with js\html, if you google you'll find some.

Solution 1

string dirPath = @"C:\"; // your directory path for files
string filter = "*.*"; // if you want any specific type give it here. ex: *.txt
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(dirPath, filter);

foreach (string file in files)
{
// logic to read file and save content in DB
}

Do you want to scan on click of your application? if yes, It depends on your scanner.
If you have twain compatible scanner, You can use TWAIN API.
or you can use some third party libraries which gives you freedom to play with scanning and imaging process.
