HttpPostedFileBase error (file object was null)

Question

My html file index.cshtml is like this

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
    <form method="post">
        <input type="file" name="myfile" id="myfile" />
        <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>

My controller is like this

public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Index(HttpPostedFileBase myfile)
        {
            string currentdir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

            myfile.SaveAs(currentdir + "\\" + myfile.FileName);

            return View();
        }
    }

And the error occurred when I posted a file. It told myfile object was null. Please help fixing this. Thx so much !
