C#

if (excelfile.FileName.EndsWith("xls") || excelfile.FileName.EndsWith("xlsx"))
               {

                   Excel.Application application = null;
                   Excel.Workbook workbook = null;
                   Excel.Worksheet worksheet = null;
                   Excel.Range range = null;

                   string path = Server.MapPath("/Upload/" + excelfile.FileName);

Error coming from above statement  here with Internet Explorer.
Its working fine with Chrome

An exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code. The given path's format is not supported.

C#

if (System.IO.File.Exists(path))
                        System.IO.File.Delete(path);
                    excelfile.SaveAs(path);

What I have tried:

string path= System.IO.Path.GetFileName("/Upload/" + excelfile.FileName);

please check file name that is getting generated for above. In chrome preceding with "file\\" formate is supported where not in another browser. Try to get if fetch using http or localhost.

thanks.issue with file name only,I am getting full path in IE.So I trimmed the file name only by using below code

if (excelfile.FileName.EndsWith("xls") || excelfile.FileName.EndsWith("xlsx"))
{

Excel.Application application = null;
Excel.Workbook workbook = null;
Excel.Worksheet worksheet = null;
Excel.Range range = null;

string[] val = excelfile.FileName.Split('\\');
string FileName = val[val.Length - 1];

string path = Server.MapPath("/Upload/" + FileName);
if (System.IO.File.Exists(path))
System.IO.File.Delete(path);
excelfile.SaveAs(path);

}

It would be better to use System.IO.Path.GetFileName to extract the file name.
