Hi everybody.
I had a question about FileUpload in asp.net.
The C# code is like this:

C#

imgUp.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("..")+@"/img/products/"+imgName);

And when executing, this exception occurs:
The given path's format is not supported

So whats the problem with that?
What should i do to rectify this error?

Thanks.

Try Server.MapPath("~\img\products\"+imgName");

If this statement be used,the imgName variable won't work right.
Because it goes in the "".

Solution 2

It was because of the illegal characters(for file name) in the imgName variable that were used.
