Answer 1

You use [Bind("CategoryId","CategoryName","formFile")] ,so the File property will not be binded to CategoriesModel categories.Here is the official doc about Bind attribute.

You can try to remove [Bind("CategoryId","CategoryName","formFile")],and make sure the name of Input is File in your view.
