ASP.NET CORE MVC Collect data and upload file

Question

I have a user for which I am collecting data and would like the user to upload a file that I would store on the server.
I have each piece of code written for collecting the data collected written to the database and stores the file name.
I also have it where the file uploads to the server.

Independently the Create and FileUpload code work however I am struggling to understand how I can combine the two.

I am not finding any examples of how to combine the two.
How could I call the FileUpload within the Create?

[HttpPost]  
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]  
        public async Task<IActionResult> Create([Bind("id,CompanyPN,Supplier,User,pdf_File,cad_File,")] Product product)  
        {  
            if (ModelState.IsValid)  
            {  
                _context.Add(product);  
                await _context.SaveChangesAsync();  
               
                return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index));  
            }  
            return View();  
        }

Hi @Robert Pettis ,

You can refer to the following sample:

1. Create two classes: Product and ProductViewModel class:
   
2. Add the DbSet to the ApplicationDbContext and enable migration to generate the Product table.
   
3. In the Controller Post method, based on the view model to create the Product instance and then insert it into the database.
   
4. In the Create view page, remember to add the enctype attribute.
   

You can view the source code from here: 228329-sourcecode.txt

Then the output is like this:
