I am doing like this in my project and it is working fine.

XML

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel" runat="server">
   <ContentTemplate>
     <asp:FileUpload ID="uploadProfilePic" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static"/>

code behind -

C#

HttpPostedFile objHttpPostedFile = uploadProfilePic.PostedFile;
string ProfilePic_fileName = uploadProfilePic.PostedFile.FileName;

Try using this....

This looks correct, but it does not explain why OP has the problem.

I suspect (essential part of code in not shown, that's the problem) I spotted what's going wrong -- please take a look at my answer. What do you think?

Hi, you can also try the below code...

ScriptManager scriptManager = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(this.Page); // ADD THE SCRIPT MANAGER ON CONTENT OR MASTER PAGE

scriptManager.RegisterPostBackControl(this.btnSubmit); // SUBMIT BUTTON ON THE PAGE

Just register the Button control as a PostBack Trigger for the UpdatePanel

<asp:postbacktrigger controlid="btnUpload" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
<asp:postbacktrigger controlid="btnRemove" xmlns:asp="#unknown">

This should force the button to do a fullpost back on the page

Solution 5

Add a trigger for your UpdatePanel
<Triggers>
<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="btnSave" />
</Triggers>

This will force a postback when the upload button is clicked.

Also add the line below to the Page_Load
Page.Form.Attributes.Add("enctype", "multipart/form-data");

It's hard to say what exactly happened, because you still don't show all relevant parts of the code. Importantly, your code sample tells nothing about the button which is supposedly named btnSave and nothing indicates that an event handler btnSave_Click is added to an invocation list of the event instance Click of this button. Is is not shown in this button related to the post of the file or not. Importantly, you don't show the form and its controls.

So, I only can suspect that the problem is related to this button and the event handler: what happens in this event handler happens before posting of the file, or file is not posted at all.

If you look at the Microsoft code sample, everything is clear: forms is shown, one can see what triggers the post. You should also do it in a similar way, please see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.fileupload.hasfile.aspx[^].

This should be write in button click event,the upload path can be given like this

if (Fileupload.HasFile)
{
string inputfileName = Fileupload.FileName;

Fileupload.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/filename contained folder name/")+ inputfileName);

}
