Hi, I think you can use next attribute in web.config -

but wht if the user uploads the file greater then the max request length mentioned in web.config, the application will be going to crash, how to handle this situation ,when user uploads the file greater then the max request length mentioned in web.config,plz reply me asap, thankx for ur reply.

You can use client JavaScript for verify file size. And if this size greater, you dont make DoPostBack.

See next link Check file size with Javascript

But this depends on the user whether he has activeX enabled or not. This cannot be the safe methods. I think server side checking will also be required. :)

Then I think you can see HttpModule and so on (handler for upload file's). See next link's - HttpHandler or HttpModule for file upload, large files, progress indicator? and HttpModule and upload files.
