my code is like this public void UploadExcel() {

if (FileUpload1.HasFile) { try {

FileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/" + FileUpload1.FileName + ""));

LabelUpload.Text = FileUpload1.FileName;

Session["Input_Data_Excel_File"] = Server.MapPath("" + FileUpload1.FileName + " ");

} catch (Exception ex) {

errormsg.Text += "ERROR: " + ex.Message.ToString(); }

} else {

errormsg.Text += "Please select a file to upload.";

}

You may follow below steps to do this.

1) Create a Folder in your Project. For Example with Name - "TestFolder".

2) Define a key in appSettings section of your Web.config file.

XML

<appSettings>

<add key="FileUploadFolder" value="TestFolder" />

</appSettings>

3) Access value of above key as below.

C#

string folderFromConfig = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FileUploadFolder"].ToString();

FileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(folderFromConfig) + FileUpload1.FileName);

string folder_from_config = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FileUploadFolder"].ToString();

FileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(folder_from_config) + "\\" + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.FileName));

<appsettings>

<add key="FileUploadFolder" value="TestFolder" />

</appsettings>
