MVC 4 Razor File Upload

but I could not make it out

you need to name the input field the same as the property you want it to be bound to, so change it from "file" to "attachment". — Erik Funkenbusch, Mar 30 '15 at 18:28

Change the input from

<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />

to

<input type="file" name="attachment" id="attachment" />

So the property in the model matches the input field.

I'm currently using the following:

In the cshtml file:
@Html.UploadFor(model=> model.Attachment)

static public class HtmlExtensions
{
    public static IHtmlString UploadFor<TSource, TResult>(this HtmlHelper<TSource> html, Expression<Func<TSource, TResult>> propertyExpression)
    {
        var memberName = Reflection.GetPropertyName(propertyExpression);
        return new HtmlString($"<input type=\"file\" name=\"{memberName}\" id=\"{memberName}\">");
    }
}

class Reflection
{
    public static string GetPropertyName<TSource, TResult>(Expression<Func<TSource, TResult>> propertyExpression)
    {
        return (propertyExpression.Body as MemberExpression).Member.Name;
    }
}
