just simple web application of 1 web page when i click on button i want file path from fileupload control In textbox

I think this is not possible. The browser wont be able to post the full path. It is to make sure the security of the client computer.

sorry if u want to get client path location it not possible because it replace original of client with [fakepath] so not possible to trace client file location by server

Like below you can get full path of your file in fileupload contorl :

C#

string filePath,fileName;
   if (FileUpload1.PostedFile != null)
   {
       filePath = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName; // file name with path.
       fileName = FileUpload1.FileName;// Only file name.
   }

fileName = FileUpload1.FileName;// Only file name.

string filePath = Server.MapPath("~/");

Solution 2

Do in this way :

    String Path = HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + FileUpload1.FileName;

Or try this  String Path = Server.MapPath(FileUpload1.FileName);

Hope this will help you :).

Solution 3

You can try like this:-

C#

string fileBasePath = Server.MapPath("~/");
string fileName = Path.GetFileName(this.MyFileUploader.FileName);
string fullFilePath = fileBasePath + fileName;

Still if you not get path then its issue of browser security.
