FileUpload control in asp.net


Introduction:

Create an example to  Upload Images using Fileupload Control in asp.net,The ASP.Net FileUpload control is a new web server control in ASP.Net 2.0 framework that provides the advanced functionality to the users to upload a file from their system to the online web server. It renders using HTML input type file control that appears as combination of two controls such as TextBox control and a Button control. The TextBox control sends the path of the file selected from the user's computer to the server, whereas button control provides the functionality to open a file-navigation dialog box. Users can navigate between the directories and files available on their system and select a file that they want to upload to the web server. The security feature of FileUpload control does not allow you to specify the file path dynamically and the users are also not allowed to type-in the file path in the textbox field available with FileUpload control. Users have to browse the file using file-navigation dialog box to select it for uploading.
