hai laine

you can use AsyncFileUpload 1.PostedFile.Fi leName

dis will solve ur problem if and only you are using IE as browser...

Due to security problems we cant get the fullpath of the file in other browsers...hope you understand...

First You need to save the Image in Your Project Folder then also save the image name in DB. use SaveAs(path) in code behind to Save the File in folder.

Hi there thanks for replying.

this is the code i use to save my uploaded image into my folder.

Dim filename As String = System.IO.Path. GetFileName(Asy ncFileUpload1.F ileName)
AsyncFileUpload 1.SaveAs(Server .MapPath("Adver tisementImg/") + filename)

however this doesnt save the image file path into my DB which i needed it to display at another aspx..

My Sample Code is Below. Please Check it. It may be Help you. You must Submit your page, then only you get Image Path.

This is my c# coading. Please Convert it into vb. Sorry for inconvenience.

if (IsPostBack && AsyncFileUpload1.PostedFile != null)
            {
                DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(@"" + Server.MapPath("~/IconImages") + "");
                if (!info.Exists)
                {
                    info.Create();
                }
                string extension = Path.GetExtension(AsyncFileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
                string filename = Path.GetFileName(AsyncFileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
                string path = "" + info + "/" + filename;
                AsyncFileUpload1.SaveAs(path);
                newPreview.ImageUrl = "IconImages/" + filename;
            }

Check Below is your vb code?

If IsPostBack AndAlso AsyncFileUpload1.PostedFile IsNot Nothing Then
	Dim info As New DirectoryInfo("" & Server.MapPath("~/IconImages") & "")
	If Not info.Exists Then
		info.Create()
	End If
	Dim extension As String = Path.GetExtension(AsyncFileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName)
	Dim filename As String = Path.GetFileName(AsyncFileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName)
	Dim path__1 As String = "" & info & "/" & filename
	AsyncFileUpload1.SaveAs(path__1)	
End If
