string Fp = @"~/images/" + FileName;

Try "@" before fiel path.
If you already have a physical path, it doesn't make sense to call Server.MapPath.

Solution 1

As KR mentioned in comments, Server.MapPath expects a virtual path. So you would not keep calling it over and over on the same string.

C#

string FileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
string Fp = "~/images/" + FileName; // ~ means you'll get a virtual path starting at the root of the application.  This is good.
string FilePath = Server.MapPath(Fp);  // this will give you something like "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\website1\images\filename
FileUpload1.SaveAs(FilePath);

now error not came .....but image not loaded in the textbox ....

ZurdoDev 15-Jun-15 7:53am

That's because you used an img tag which gets loaded in the html on the client side which means the src attribute needs to be the url to the image.

Use an asp:Image instead of a richtextbox. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.image.imageurl(v=vs.110).aspx

Solution 2

Try this. You have used MapPath twice, which is not needed actually.

C#

FileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(@"~/images/" + filename));
