Answer 1

Change your name file to fileUpload and enctype it's work

@using (Html.BeginForm("UploadFile", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype="multipart/form-data" }))
{
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.FirstName)
    



    


    
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadFile(UploadFileModel model, HttpPostedFileBase fileUpload)
{
   // DO Stuff
   return View(model);
}
