You can't do it.

Security concerns will not allow the server to be aware of the file and / or network structure of the client via the FileUpload control, just the file name.

...And I cannot see why it should be needed. This is user's concern, totally private; only the content of the file matters.

Thanx for your reply!!! ;)
I forgot to mention that,my web app. will run on local host much like desktop app.
URL of file uploaded will be used to open in respective application.
eg.If i upload an Excel file from "D:/ABC/acc.xl" then i will be able to open that file in MS-Excel when i click on the link of that file from web browser itself.

Sounds weird but it's my requirement!!!

Any other alternatives can be suggested!!!

Thanx!!!!

Doesn't make any difference: if you use an upload control, you only get access to the filename.

If you provide a link to a file in the browser, then it can be downloaded and edited automatically.

If it is a local server, U can try fileUpload.PostedFile.FileName this will help.
