Hi All,

I am working in a enviroment were everyone has access to all the same servers and files and they are mapped on everyones computer, but the mapping may be diffrent. What I want to do is use the fileUpload control to have the user find the file and then I want to put the files path and file name into a variable. I dont want the actual file, just its path. Can someone help me out with this? or should i just create a control myself? Back in vb6, i would have used commondialogbox, but i havent looked at doing it that way here and dont know if you still can, but i seen the nifty little fileupload control and thought I could probably just use it.

I am using vb.net2005

Thanks in advance,

Charles

sorry, i must be slow today, but i dont understand how to implement this. is this vb.net code?

does that use the file upload user control? my file upload control is named FUsample. so how do i get the path from that user control after the user selects a file?

hi,

HttpFileCollection files = Request.Files;

HttpPostedFile file = files[p];

string c = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(String.Format(file.FileName));
