.Net Razor Pages - Create and process list of objects-CodePudding

need your thoughts on how the following can be implemented. I need to process on the OnPost a list of <string,file> objects and do some business logic after, but at this stage, I am unsure of how to implement it either using RazorPages logic or what was usually done with MVC.

At this stage what I can't do is to get on OnPostAsync the picked values on selectedCompany and inputFile, which I was expecting to come from the formData.

Any thoughts? TY

The '0' on [0].CompanyGuid and [0].File has obviously to be an auto-generated sequencial number.
