Absolutely not, for fairly obvious security reasons!

Imagine a public website with a hidden FileUpload control which uploaded
people's accounts database, or their Windows password file...

It is a read-only property and is automatically set by the ASP.NET runtime
when the user posts back the page with uploaded file from the browser.

Thanks for ur immediate support.

A FileUpload will not retain its' value between postbacks for security
reasons. Therefore, as long as the ListBox doesn't post back, you won't have
a problem.
