Capture Path from upload file control

syd
I have an intranet app that i would like to just capture the Path contained
in the file field html control. The app will reside on an intranet and we
all will have access to this path - it seems a waste to upload the file.
The browse button will capture the path just fine, and display it in the
associated text box. But i can't see to find a way to capture that path on
postback....

I tried looking in the form fields collection but it doesn't seem to be
there. I would hate to have to captuer it in some javascript on the
client.

Stuck in the middle of nowhere

If i am undertsanding your question correct, then this is the way to get the
path

(associatedtext boxName.PostedF ile.FileName) and the control should be a
server side control.

1) We have a requirement. we would need to capture the full server folder path instead of file paths using the browse control. For ex: \\XYz-Server\Folder1\Folder2 should be captured when we select Folder 2 through the browse control. i.e The path must be for a directory and not for any specific file. We are currently making use of HTML file upload control in ASP.net pages through which we are able to browse only to specific files.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
