You should pass the full path with the fileName as well in the File.Move method for the source too.

Check this for a reference

In the link provided , you can see the path provided. it can be path on the local drive or even you can use Server.MapPath too.

did u understand my question.........

When you try to move a file from one folder to another , exception throws could not find file. Thats your question?Correct me if I understood wrong?

maulikshah1990 29-Jan-14 4:23am

yes..u are right..but if i use <asp:FileUpload> , it saves image to the folder..and if i use input type file , it gives error....

and i cannot use asp:Fileupload, because i append input type=file from jquery ....

JoCodes 29-Jan-14 4:27am

Its not about the Control you are using to Upload. The error is due to File.Move method first parameter ( source) not able to find where exactly the location the source file resides. Make sure dayimagenew variable you are using contains the Path + FileName so it can access it for moving to destination.

when i use <input type ="file" /> and Request.Files["Imgname"] ,i get only image name and not path from where image selected ...

JoCodes 29-Jan-14 4:47am

You Server.MapPath("~/ImageFolder/Image.jpg"); like this and modify your folder name and image variable so you will get the path . Then pass this path as a first parameter to File.Move.
