How to upload a file on the server through upload control in asp.net

With ASP.NET upload a file on the server is very easy.With FileUpload control we can easily upload a file on the server.Following markup is required.

 

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <asp:FileUpload id="FileUploadControl" runat="server" />
    <asp:Button runat="server" id="btnupload" text="Upload" onclick="btnupload
_Click" />
   
    <asp:Label runat="server" id="lblstatus"  />
</form> 

Here is the CodeBehind code required to handle upload a file on the server.

protected void btnupload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(FileUploadControl.HasFile)
    {
        try
        {
            string filename = Path.GetFileName(FileUploadControl.FileName);
            FileUploadControl.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/") + filename);
            lblstatus.Text = "Upload status: File uploaded!";
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            lblstatus.Text = "The file could not be uploaded." + ex.Message;
        }
    }
} 

Through this you can easily upload a file on the server.
