The SaveAs method is configured to require a rooted path, and the path 'fp' is not rooted

Question

I am doing Image uploader in Asp.net and I am giving following code under my controls:

    string st;
    st = tt.PostedFile.FileName;
    Int32 a;
    a =          


        

Answer 1

I suspect the problem is that you're using the string "fp" instead of the variable fp. Here's the fixed code, also made (IMO) more readable:

string filename = tt.PostedFile.FileName;
int lastSlash = filename.LastIndexOf("\\");
string trailingPath = filename.Substring(lastSlash + 1);
string fullPath = Server.MapPath(" ") + "\\" + trailingPath;
tt.PostedFile.SaveAs(fullPath);

You should also consider changing the penultimate line to:

string fullPath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(" "), trailingPath);

You might also want to consider what would happen if the posted file used / instead of \ in the filename... such as if it's being posted from Linux. In fact, you could change the whole of the first three lines to:

string trailingPath = Path.GetFileName(tt.PostedFile.FileName));

Combining these, we'd get:

string trailingPath = Path.GetFileName(tt.PostedFile.FileName));
string fullPath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(" "), trailingPath);
tt.PostedFile.SaveAs(fullPath);

Much cleaner, IMO :)
