How to change fileupload name - asp.net

Question

im using following code to upload
protected void UploadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(FileUploadControl.HasFile)
{
try
{
string filename = Path.GetFileName(FileUploadControl.FileName);
FileUploadControl.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~upload/") + filename);
StatusLabel.Text = "Upload status: File uploaded!";
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
StatusLabel.Text = "Upload status: The file could not be uploaded. The following error occured: " + ex.Message;
}
}
}
I want to change the upload file name...I have to assign file name for every uploaded file how?

Answer 1

This line pickes up the the name of the uploaded file:
string filename = Path.GetFileName(FileUploadControl.FileName);
This line tells the server what to save the file as:
FileUploadControl.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/") + filename);
Simply change the value of filename to something else before saving.

Answer 2

there is a way to change the name of the file that we downloaded to our "~Server/Userfolder"(as an example)..
i was really thinking on renaming file before the .SaveAs command, which is gonna be like:
if (Request.Files != null)
{
var getmyfile = Request.Files["some_photo"];
try
{
if (getmyfile.FileName != "" && getmyfile.FileName != null && getmyfile.ContentLength > 0)
{
///Create Useruploads path.
var path = Server.MapPath("~/Useruploads" + "\\");
///Get file info that we gonna upload to server..
FileInfo TheFile = new FileInfo(path + Path.GetFileName(getmyfile.FileName));
///Note: i used Path.GetFileName(getmyfile.FileName) code cause getmyfile.FileName gives full path of that file..
if (TheFile.Exists)
{
///Seperate file name and extention..
var fname = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(TheFile.Name);
var ext = TheFile.Extension;
var path2 = path + fname;
///As long as we got file names, same as in server..
while(new FileInfo(path2+ext).Exists)
{
///Add "-img" to its name..
path2 = path2 + "-img";
}
FileInfo ccc = new FileInfo(path2 + ext);
string f_art = ccc.Name.Replace(" ", "");///Clean space.. (Optional)
getmyfile.SaveAs(f_art);
somedb.some_photo = Path.GetFileName(f_art); ///Its not fart its file art lol!
}
else ///if file is not exist in our server..
{
var path3 = (path + Path.GetFileName(getmyfile.FileName));
FileInfo ccc = new FileInfo(path3);
string f_art = ccc.Name.Replace(" ", "");
getmyfile.SaveAs(f_art);
some.some_photo = Path.GetFileName(f_art);
}
}
}
catch(FileNotFoundException ex)
{
form.Set("lblStatus",ex.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
form.Set("lblStatus", ex.Message);
}
db.somedbs.InsertOnSubmit(somedb);
db.SubmitChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
(Optional) Also u can use :
var f_art = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(TheFile.Name), "[^a-zA-Z]", "");
instead of using .Replace(" ",""); but at this it just cleans spaced areas and if u use the code up there its gonna clean everything except A to Z , a to z characters which means no numbers will be applied to that name nor space or other characters which are not between A and Z..
