Answer 1

this code solve your problem
public IHttpActionResult Post([FromBody]Game model)
{
var image = SaveImage(model.Image, Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
model.Image = image; // set image name in model
_repository.Add<Game>(model);
return Ok();
}
public string SaveImage(string ImgStr, string ImgName)
{
String path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/images/Games"); //Path
//Check if directory exist
if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(path))
{
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(path); //Create directory if it doesn't exist
}
string imageName = ImgName + ".jpg";
//set the image path
string imgPath = Path.Combine(path, imageName);
string[] str = ImgStr.Split(',');
byte[] bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(str[1]);
File.WriteAllBytes(imgPath, bytes);
return imageName;
}
