Which of the dozens of fileupload plugins are you using?

According to that page, the property is called formData, not data:
formData: $("#frmID").serialize()

Of course, this plugin is only for the file upload, and not the data along with it.

Quote:
The jQuery File Upload Plugin consists of a basic version (jquery.fileupload.js) providing the File Upload API.

It's okay but why to go for 3rd party solution when HTML5 provides the file input ?

HTML

<input type="file" id="fileUpload" name="fileUpload" />

Here, type="file", defines a file-select field and a "Browse..." button (for file uploads).

Now let's make a demo.
HTML:

HTML

<!--You can change it to @Html.BeginForm -->
<form id="myForm" action="@Url.Action('UploadAction1', 'Media')" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name)
    <input type="file" id="fileUpload" name="fileUpload" />
</form>

Now the jQuery,

JavaScript

$("#fileUpload").change(function() {
    $("#myForm").submit();  // meaning whenever you select the file and press OK/Open, form will be submitted.
});

You can refer this documentation [^] for showing the file upload progress.

And finally the Action Method
[HttpPost]

C#

public ActionResult UploadAction1()
{
     if (Request.Files.Count > 0)
     {
         var file = Request.Files[0];

         if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0)
         {
            var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
            var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Images/"), fileName);
            file.SaveAs(path);
         }
     }

     return RedirectToAction("Index");
 }
