model

public class tManagement
{
        public HttpPostedFileBase ClientFile1 { get; set; }

HttpPostedFileBase and HttpPostedFile have the same properties, but are not related class wise, so you can not cast one to the other (they are completely different objects to .net). HtppPostedFileBase is usually used for unit test mocking.

here is a good explanation:
