Question

I would like to save the file attachment to a folder on the website.

My code that creates the attachment to email is like this:

' Attachments
If Not (FileUpload1.FileName = "") Then
    Dim myattachment1 As New Net.Mail.Attachment(FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream, FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName)
    message.Attachments.Add(myattachment1)
End If

I would like to save the attachments to “C:\DotNetNuke5\Portals\6\JobApplicationDocuments” on the server. Then I would like to save the path to the file in a DB column called ‘attachment’.

I would like some help, or things I can search with Google as I am new to this. Thanks

Edit: I now have this code:

If Not (FileUpload1.FileName = "") Then
    Dim myattachment1 As New Net.Mail.Attachment(FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream, FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName)
    message.Attachments.Add(myattachment1)

    Dim savePath As String = "C:\DotNetNuke5\Portals\6\JobApplicationDocuments\"
    If (FileUpload1.HasFile) Then
        savePath += FileUpload1.FileName
    End If

End If

But I can’t get it to save in the directory.

Save uploaded file, using this code:

        Dim savePath = "C:\DotNetNuke5\Portals\6\JobApplicationDocuments\"

        Dim uploadedFileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(input.FileName)

        savePath += uploadedFileName

        Try

        FileUpload1.PostedFile.SaveAs(savePath)

        Catch ex As Exception

        'error. do something

        End Try
