getting the path of a file using the file upload control

Question

Hi All I am working in a enviroment were everyone has access to all the same servers and files and they are mapped on everyones computer but the mapping may be diffrent. What I want to do is use the fileUpload control to have the user find the file and then I want to put the files path and file name into a variable. I dont want the actual file just its path. Can someone help me out with this? or should i just create a control myself? Back in vb6 i would have used commondialogbox but i havent looked at doing it that way here and dont know if you still can but i seen the nifty little fileupload control and thought I could probably just use it. I am using vb.net2005 Thanks in advance Charles

sorry i must be slow today but i dont understand how to implement this. is this vb.net code? does that use the file upload user control? my file upload control is named FUsample. so how do i get the path from that user control after the user selects a file?
