How to save image path in database

Question

I want to save the image path in my database. The image is properly saved in a folder and I do not have any idea how to save the image path in the database as it is uploaded. Please help me solve it.

HomeController.cs

ImageEntities db = new ImageEntities();
public ActionResult FileUpload(HttpPostedFileBase file, tbl_Image model)
        {
            if (file != null)
            {
                string pic = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
                string path = System.IO.Path.Combine(
                                       Server.MapPath("~/images/profile"), pic);

                file.SaveAs(path);

            }

    return View("FileUploaded", db.tbl_Image.ToList());
}

FileUpload.cshtml

 @using (Html.BeginForm("FileUpload", "Home", FormMethod.Post, 
                                new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
    {  
        <label for="file">Upload Image:</label> 
        <input type="file" name="file" id="file" style="width: 100%;" /> 
        <input type="submit" value="Upload" class="submit" /> 
    }

Try this:

    ImageEntities db = new ImageEntities();
    public ActionResult FileUpload(HttpPostedFileBase file, tbl_Image model)
    {
            if (file != null)
            {
                string pic = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
                string path = System.IO.Path.Combine(
                                       Server.MapPath("~/images/profile"), pic);
                file.SaveAs(path);
                db.AddTotbl_Image(new tbl_Image(){imagepath="~/images/profile/"+pic});
                db.SaveChanges();
            }

            return View("FileUploaded", db.tbl_Image.ToList());
    }
