Try this. Hope it will work. I din't gave a try.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(HttpPostedFileBase fil)
{
    if (fil != null && fil.ContentLength > 0)
    {
        // Read bytes from http input stream
        BinaryReader b = new BinaryReader(file.InputStream);
        byte[] binData = b.ReadBytes(file.InputStream.Length);
        string result = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(binData);
        Session["doc2"] = result;

    }
    return RedirectToAction("Xmlview");
}

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Xmlview()
{
    Value model2 = new Value();
    string strall = "";
    string content = Session["doc2"].ToString();
    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(content))
    {
        XDocument xml = XDocument.Parse(content);  
        var allElements = xml.Elements();
    }
}
