If you do not use third party libraries, try this:

Model

public class Strategy 
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public byte[] File { get; set; }

    }

View

 @model TEST.Model.Strategy
 @using (Html.BeginForm("Add", "Strategy", FormMethod.Post, new { @id = "frmStrategy", enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
        {
            @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.Name)
            
            @Html.HiddenFor(x => x.ID)

        }

Controller

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Add(Strategy model, HttpPostedFileBase templateFile)
        {


            if (templateFile != null && templateFile.ContentLength > 0)
            {
                try
                {
                    var fname = Path.GetFileName(templateFile.FileName);
                    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
                    {
                      templateFile.InputStream.CopyTo(ms);
                      byte[] array = ms.GetBuffer();
                      model.File = array;
                    }
                    ...
