Answer 1

Since you are creating the post of the data you will need to post the file data. see this post:

How can I upload files asynchronously?

Answer 2

I did the different way using form collection that can easily Upload files.Like u did add that line inside begin form in cshtml page.

public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include="Id,Name,Pic,ActiveStatus")] FormCollection form)
    {

        string Pic = "";
        var file = Request.Files[0];

        if (file.ContentLength > 0)
        {
            Pic = string.Format("~/Uploads/Category/{0}", file.FileName);
            file.SaveAs(HttpContext.Server.MapPath(Pic));

        }

        ItemCategory obj = new ItemCategory
        {
            Name = form["Name"].ToString(),
            Pic = file.FileName

        };

        db.ItemCategories.Add(obj);
        db.SaveChanges();
        return RedirectToAction("Index");

You need to use HttpPostedFileBase in controller action parameters inorder to get the filedata that you have posted.
