Answer 1

There is no HttpPostedFileBase in MVC6. You can use IFormFile instead.

Example: https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/blob/dev/test/WebSites/ModelBindingWebSite/Controllers/FileUploadController.cs

Snippet from the above link:

public FileDetails UploadSingle(IFormFile file)
{
    FileDetails fileDetails;
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(file.OpenReadStream()))
    {
        var fileContent = reader.ReadToEnd();
        var parsedContentDisposition = ContentDispositionHeaderValue.Parse(file.ContentDisposition);
        fileDetails = new FileDetails
        {
            Filename = parsedContentDisposition.FileName,
            Content = fileContent
        };
    }

    return fileDetails;
}
