See more:

I use

<input type="file" id="getValue" name="DayImage1" />

and get file name as

esed=1;

string fname = Request.Files["DayImage" + esed].FileName;

But the above gives only file name and not path..
Will it take the image from selected path in input type file

and save in my location directly...

pls advice

Solution 1

You can't get the File Path from a input file control. That is due to security reason.
Browsers don't allow you to read the path of file.

I think not possible in Web Application...Because Browser Security does not allow to get access of the User Directory...

No, you can't. This is a Security Feature. If you are able to do it using any other method, it will be a hack.
So, don't do it. :)

That is not possible in any way. Why you need that?
