Asp.net core uploading file and storing file url to database

I have the code working in a new seperate test project how ever it will not work with my excisting work project. I am trying to upload a file as part of a form, store it in a folder in wwwroot and store the url in a database. I have posted the code below.The program compiles and runs but does not store anything when create button is pressed. any help would be greatly appreciated.

//Model

namespace PostProjectEvaluations.Web.Models
{
public partial class Projects
{
    [Key]
    public int ProjectId { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(300)]
    public string Name { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(50)]
    public string Manager { get; set; }

    public string FilePath { get; set; }

}
public class ProjectsVM
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public IFormFile File { get; set; }
}

//Controller

namespace PostProjectEvaluations.Web.Controllers
{
    public class projectsController : Controller
    {
        private readonly IApplicationRepository ApplicationRepository;
        private readonly PostProjectEvaluationsContext _context;
        private IHostingEnvironment mxHostingEnvironment { get; set; }
        private object objproject;

        public projectsController(IApplicationRepository applicationRepository,
            IHostingEnvironment hostingEnvironment, PostProjectEvaluationsContext context)
        {
            mxHostingEnvironment = hostingEnvironment;
            ApplicationRepository = applicationRepository;
            _context = context;
        }


        public IActionResult Index()
        {
            ViewBag.dataSource = ApplicationRepository.GetAllProjects().ToList();
            var projects = ApplicationRepository.GetAllProjects();
            return View(projects);
        }

        [HttpPost]

                //upload files to wwwroot
                var fileName = Path.GetFileName(projectsVM.File.FileName);
                var filePath = Path.Combine(mxHostingEnvironment.WebRootPath, "Uploads", fileName);


                using (var fileSteam = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create))

                }
                //your logic to save filePath to database, for example

                Projects projects = new Projects();
                projects.Name = projectsVM.Name;
                projects.FilePath = filePath;
