Browse an image from the disk and load it into image control and save the file path in a text file

Question

Hi All I want to load an image(jpegpng..etc) from the hard disk and load it into image control in ASP.NET. I prefer C# as the programming language. After loading the image  i want to save the file location in a text file. Then the next time i can read the text file and i can get the image location[path]. I can do the same thing for the form application but difficult to mange web applications[ASP.NET]. So simply what i need is; code segment for -Browse an image file from the disk -Load it into a image control[if resizing is possible then good] -then save the image location to a text file can anybody help me to do this? Thanks Charithmax

You can use the UploadControl to upload your images from asp.net. You can access the image bytes through .FileBytes and the file name through .FileName
