<form id="profile-form" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <div class="col-md-6">

            <div class="form-group col-md-6">
                 <img id="output" style="height:200px; width:200px;" />
            </div>
       </div>
       <div class="row">
            <div class="form-group col-md-12">
                <input asp-for="Input.ProfilePhoto" type="file" onchange="loadFile(event)" class="form-control">
            </div>
       </div>
       <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="Upload">Save</button>
   </div>
</form>

public class Input
{
      [Display(Name = "Profile Photo")]
      public HttpPostedFileBase ProfilePhoto { get; set; }
}

public async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync()
{

}

Answer 1

The ASP.NET Core equivalent to HttpPosteFileBase is IFormFile :

[BindProperty]
public IFormFile Upload { get; set; }

public async Task OnPostAsync()
{
    var file = Path.Combine(_environment.ContentRootPath, "uploads", Upload.FileName);
    using (var fileStream = new FileStream(file, FileMode.Create))
    {
        await Upload.CopyToAsync(fileStream);
    }
}

You also need to decorate the IFormFile property (or the class that it is in) with the [BindProperty] attribute.
