Answer 1

Firstly you need to escape your string literal that points to the directory

You can do this by adding an @ before the string, or by putting double backslashes.

FileUpload1.SaveAs(@"C:\Users\Vinay\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\Onlinedoctorsportal\vini" + FileUpload1.FileName);

OR

FileUpload1.SaveAs("C:\\Users\\Vinay\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2010\\WebSites\\Onlinedoctorsportal\\vini" + FileUpload1.FileName);

Secondly, check that the user that your ASP.NET application pool process is running under has permissions to write to the specified folder.

A quick check to see if this is the problem is to impersonate your local admin account in your web.config file.

You can do this by configuring the impersonate tag as follows:

<identity impersonate="true"
      userName="domain\user" 
      password="password" />
