In a asp.net FileUpload server control, when I upload a file, the whole path of the file appears. But I do not want to show the full path.
I want to show something like c:\FakePath\FileName.
Is it possible? and if yes how.
Thanks

I wast to use an image as a Fileupload control asp.net application such that when I click on the image, it opens file explorer. Once an image is selected, the the selected image is displayed. I should also be able to store the selected image into a database. Any code to do that?
Please be specific to the point what you have done so far. But I give you link for the solution.
File Upload control to upload file and save record in database
I have a form with FileUpload control. Say, user chooses a file from his local disk, uploads it and then my site tells him that the file is in wrong format. The FileUpload control still retains the path to file.
Then the user makes neccessary corrections to his file and presses the upload button, assuming it will grab the updated version of his file. But the server still receives the old version of file, which is without user corrections! I even noticed that you can even rename or delete the local file after choosing it with FileUpload and it will still upload.
So my questions are:
Does FileUpload control cache files in some fashion?
Is this ASP.NET functionality or it's present in basic HTML control?
Can I remove this caching so that server always gets the latest version of the file?
Try using fileuploadId.Dispose() on pageload to clear the control.
I have saved images using File upload control in asp.net now i want fetch its path from database and display into file upload control please help me out
You will have to display image in image control using Server.MapPath("~/SomeDir/image.jpg")
Why would you want the server file path to appear in the file upload control? If you think about it, it makes no sense. The path that comes back would be relevant to the server, not the user so chances are the location would not exist on the users machine. If you really need to display the server location for any reason just stick it in a label.
using ASP.net, vs2008 C#.
Im using a FileUpload control on a webform. The uploading of a file (ie PDF dcouments) to a server directory works ok.
I have on the webform a "preview" button that the user can use to preview the PDF file after they have selected it via the Fileupload browse feature.
I do this by
if (this.FileUpload1.HasFile)
{
localURL = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName;
// use this to preview file. Other methods are restricted by local security requirements
Process.Start(localURL);
}
My problems is that after the button click Postback occurs the location of the selected file disappears from the textbox part of the Fileupload control.
How can i keep this info there, so the user does not have to browse again and instead can just click upload to upload the file.
Any help appreciated
thanks
try putting the localURL variable into a session. worked for me once
In my site, user want to upload a pdf file and I have to save it into my own server. I don't need the content to be saved. I want the exact file to be copied into my server where the published file of the site exists.How to do this?
Use FileUpload Control and write code like
FileUpload1.PostedFile.SaveAs("Path and Filename");
