Solution 1

The error message is pretty explicit: you can't use For Each on something that isn't a collection.

The property name itself is a clue: "PostedFile" is not pluralised, implying it contains a single item, and not a collection of items. Try the PostedFiles property instead.

As per MSDN[^], you cannot use for each with UploadImages.PostedFile since it is not a collection modify your code to...

C#

if(UploadImages.HasFile)
{
    HttpPostedFile myfile = UploadImages.PostedFile)
    
    myfile.SaveAs(System.IO.Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~\\uploadfile\\"),myfile.FileName));
    listofuploadedfiles.Text += String.Format("{0}<br />", myfile.FileName);
}
