thanks for your response Matthew... But this is not my solution. I am explaining my problem a bit elaborately. My fileupload web application uploads file in say : c:/Directory1. But the web application where users views the files are in d:/Directory2. I am listing the uploaded files in a listbox control... which I am being able to do. Now when a user clicks one item in listbox it just sets the "href" attribute of an hyperlink with "c:/Directory1/" + filename. But since the files are on another directory, when I click on the hyperlink it does not respond,but on the browser window status bar I can see the path which is assigned to it's href attribute and it's proper.

That shows you have no idea on web applications. Physical path like c:/directory will not work with web applications. It can access only directories which are under it's website space. So you have to keep your upload files in a directory inside your website area. :)

hi try this using System.IO; and String DocPath = Session["DocPath"].ToString(); //here Docpath = "~/Documents/18abc.jpg" string path = Server.MapPath(DocPath); //here path = "Y:\\testsite\\Myfolder\\Documents\\18abc.jpg" System.IO.FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(path); if (file.Exists) { Image1.ImageUrl = path; //or you can use direct path Image1.ImageUrl = "htt://www.yoursite/folder/file.jpg"; } this may help you :rose:
