Accessing the uploaded file using apicontroller

API

I am new to ASP.net. My experience has been on winforms using VB.net, and I have been struggling with my first api call. I am using VS 2019. I spent a few hours researching but couldn't find what I need. I want to upload a file to a web api and then access that file on the server. I tried using <httppost> but got errors. The GetValues is successfully called, but is this what I need?

What I have tried:

<form action="/api/Values " >	
	<!-- method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" -->
        <div>

            <input type="file" id="btn_FileUpload" name="btn_FileUpload"
                   class="btn btn-primary">

            <input type="submit" id="btn_submit" name="btn_submit">

        </div>
</form>


Public Class ValuesController
    Inherits ApiController

    Public Function GetValues() As IEnumerable(Of String)

	    I want to get the file here

        Return New String() {"value1", "value2"}
    End Function

End Class
