Hi all

Im using fileupload control and i want the location comes in the fileupload control.But where i get only filename

For example
My file may be in C:/myfolder/hi.txt

i want this location instead im getting only file name

string filename1 = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.FileName);
string ls_nm = HiddenField1.Value;
string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
string toatal = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName;

All these methods returns only that filename

how to get exact location??

thanks in Advance

0	Hi All, string fileLoacation=FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName; Above code will not work in other browser like firefox. it will work only in IE You can't get full path of the file. For security purposes, the browser will never post the full file's path. Try to use below code in java script. lbltext.Text = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName reference: http://weblogs.asp.net/ashicmahtab/archive/2009/05/20/fileupload-control-doesn-t-give-full-path-help.aspx Regards, fench Amritha444, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
