This doesn't make sense to me at all. FileUpload is made for browser clients to upload files from their local machine, not for you to assign a web url to their uploaded file.

You are not allowed to set the File Name property of a FileUploadControl. This is why you are getting the error you are seeing.

InsertAlias is correct at pointing out that this control is not designed to do what you are attempting.

Please provide more details on the problem you are attempting to solve so that we can point you to a control that can help you in your solution.

You just want to send the hyperlink? As an email attachment? Hyperlinks aren't files, they are just text.

You could include the HTML for the correct link in the email.

The reason you get this error is because you cannot attach a hyperlink to an email.......attachments to emails are files.

If you are developing an ASP.NET web application that sends an email with an attachment specified by the user you are going to have to place a FileUpload control on the page and write the code that uploads the file to the server. Please see this article for information on the FileUpload control and how to implement it.

Once the file is uploaded to the server you can attach it to your email.

If you just want to send an email with a hyperlink to a web page....then in your email body write the HTML that links to that web page...

Eg:

<a href="http://theUrlOfTheSite.com/">Text you want them to see in the email</a>
