Can I specify the upload filename without an inputefile control

[yongbum]

Hi
How would I specify the file to upload to the server without an inputfile control on the form.
When the user clicks the uploadBtn I want to upload file 123.dat.
I'm using vb, code snipet appriciated.

Thanks

Sorry, code snippet is in C#; thats the language I speak...

// file name value of inputfile control 
string file = fileUploadTextBox.Value;

// get extension
string ext = file.Substring(file.IndexOf("."),file.Length-file.IndexOf("."));
		
// ad your new file name	
string filename = "MyCustomText" + ext;

// get the path to the file
string fullPath = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("C:\mydirectory" + filename)

// upload!
fileUploadTextBox.PostedFile.SaveAs(fullPath);

hope that helps.

Thanks shawn
Don't I have to declare the fileUploadTextBox to use its properties?
