Attachment Upload through Visualforce Page

Hello All,
 I have a requirement to upload an attachment through Visual Force Page.
 Attachment should reside in Custom Object.
 
 On creation of record, user will fill some details and upload attachment from local machine.
 Details and Attachment should be captured as record in custom object.
 Please let me know for any sample code.

Thanks !

Hi please update that method as follows :

public AttachmentUploadController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
        Associate__c assoc = (Associate__c)controller.getRecord();
        recordId = assoc.id;
    }

Let me know if you have any issue.

Hi Abhishek,

 Thanks for your response.
 Code works fine if the Parent Id is hardcoded.
 Here, I need to capture the attachment.ParentId dynamically on click of the custom button at Objects Detail Page.
 Please let me know, how to achieve it.

Thanks !

Hi,

Please use below code and modify your controller code accordingly : 
public Id recordId; 

public PsaCostProjectionExtension(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
        
        this.recordId = (YourCustomObject__c)stdController.getRecord().Id;//Replace your Object API name with YourCustomObject__c
}
If you are not able to do the chages than please share your class code so that i can help you.

Regards,
Abhishek.

      if (attachment == null)
        attachment = new Attachment();
      return attachment;
    }
  set;
  }

  public PageReference upload() {

    attachment.OwnerId = UserInfo.getUserId();
    attachment.ParentId = recordId; // the record the file is attached to
 //   attachment.ParentId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id'); 
    attachment.IsPrivate = true;

    try {
      insert attachment;
    } catch (DMLException e) {
      ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.ERROR,'Error uploading attachment'));
      return null;
    } finally {
      attachment = new Attachment();
