I'm afraid I don't understand your question. What do you mean by 'other peoples'? If you have a page that includes the ASP.NET FileUpload control, the user has to select a file. When the page is posted back to the server, you can programmatically work with the contents of the posted file. If your question relates to some other mechanism of file upload, please be more specific about what you want to do.

sorry for my bad language, yes what i want is to programmatically work with the contents of the posted file . i try to upload some files from my website but when i check the server i didnot find the uploaded file so i assume that the control didnot work i read from the internet that i need to applay some code when the page is submited to make the file upload control work many thanks

You should post the code you have written so far and identify the section you are experiencing difficulties with. The exact nature of your problem still isn't clear to me. The FileUpload control provides a means of acquiring a file from a client machine and including its contents in a HTTP server request. What happens to the contents of that file when the server receives the request is entirely up to the discretion of the programmer. As I have already stated, if you want to save the contents of the posted file on the server-side you need to call the SaveAs method of the FileUpload control.

What u can do is use the SaveAs method to save the file to ur db as byte[] or just the filepath+filename.

drag n drop html browse control on your page rght click on it and check the "Run as Server Control" option now drag and drop a button on your form. Lets say the name(ID) of your File control is File1 then on click event of your button write following code string path=@"C:\Uploaded";//Path where you want to save the uploaded file File1.PostedFile.SaveAs(path); You need to give ASPNET account write permissions on that folder where you want to save the file.
