As far as I know, you can not get the full path of a file on client side. You can get full path of a file which was on server but not like that "DriveName:\FolderName\FileName". Path of a file on server is like "www.domain_name.com/folder_name/file_name".

If you want to achieve this type of effect, then you need to write your own control that runs on the client side - if your app is running on Windows only, you could launch this as a ClickOnce app for instance. It's a very rare situation, however, where you need access to this level of detail,
