problem with the file upload dialog

[love_dude1984]

hi,

im building an app where im tryin to upload an image to my database through file upload dialog box. my problem is, when i select a file thru the Fileupload dialog and save the path to a string variable n try to save it, the app takes the connectionstring as the path of the image.so it doesnt get saved in my database. i tried alot, bt when i select a file, the connectionstring gets changed.

what could be d possible reason for tht? im loadin the connection string on the same page n not in app.config file..

pl help me.

This is C# forum. Ask web related question in ASP.NET forum.
You need to create relative path of uploaded file.

string relpath="~/images/" + FileUpload1.FileName;
 string abspath=MapPath("~/images/" + FileUpload1.FileName);
 FileUpload1.SaveAs(abspath);
 string sql;
 sql=string.format("insert into tablename (filename,filepath) values ('{0}','{1}')",FileUpload1.FileName,relpath);
 .....

From the following text, i guess that you are working with web.
Fileupload dialog and save the path to a string variable n try to save it,
You have to use openFileDialog control. Isn't it?

this is my code on browse button

try
            {
                picpathdialog.Filter = "BMP(*.bmp)|*.bmp|JPEG(*.jpeg,*.jpg,*.jpe,*.jfif)|*.jpg|GIF(*.gif)|*.gif|PNG(*.png)|*.png|All Picture Files(*.jpeg,*.jpg,*.gif,*.png,*.bmp)|(*.jpg,*.bmp,*.gif,*.jpeg)";
                if (picpathdialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
                {
                        pictureBox1.ImageLocation = picpathdialog.FileName;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception error)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("In open file dialog box" + error.Message);
            }

Do not write such a code that could replace connectionstring Can I see the code of upload button?
Your code for upload button should be:

string relpath=picpathdialog.FileName;
 string sql;
 sql=string.format("insert into tablename (filepath) values ('{0}')",relpath);
 .....
