Upload of two different files, from two different inputs

I'm currently trying to handle the upload of two different files from two different <input type="file"/>s.

For example: 

@using (Html.BeginForm("AddIssue", "Magazine", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
<fieldset>
        <div class="editor-field">
            <div class="editor-label">Issue: </div>
            <input type="file" name="issueFile" id="issueFile"/>
        </div>
        <div class="editor-field">
            <div class="editor-label">Cover: </div>
            <input type="file" name="issueCover" id="issueCover"/>
        </div>
        <button type="submit">Save</button>
    </fieldset>
}

I've figured out how to receive a file (or files) from one input, but can't find any appropriate information on how to receive files from multiple inputs.

I already have a method for POST, but can't figure out what shall I receive on post.

[HttpPost, Authorize]
public ActionResult AddIssue(string dummy)
{ }

After the comment, here is a more specific solution...

You need to ensure that your Controller Action parameters are named the same as the name attribute on your form fields. This should work for you:

public ActionResult AddIssue(HttpPostedFileBase issueFile, HttpPostedFileBase issueCover)
{ }

Remember, it is the name attributes that are used to identify the fields from the controller. The id attributes mean nothing, and do not have to match.
