Getting File from <input type ="file"> in C#.net

Question

i need to get the filename from my input id is Announcement_PIC, but it always return null when i try to get the filename. below is my code:

Front side:

<input type="file" runat="server" class="textboxTabsFiles" ID="Announcement_PIC"/>

Backend: i've already included the below in the partical class:

protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile File1;
protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputButton Submit1;

This is how i'm currently getting my filename

string fn = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Announcement_PIC.PostedFile.FileName).ToString();

Edit: my file upload is placed inside a JQuery tabs and using the asp fileupload it also has problem getting the file name, thus i tried using input file

on which event do you have this code ? why aren't you using Asp's FileUploader — yogi

In the RSS feed, this question's title creates a file up-loader box like the one here: File Upload. Pretty nifty. — Bob2Chiv

Have you remembered a enctype='multipart/form-data' on the form-tag?

Why not use:

<asp:FileUpload id="FileUploadControl" runat="server" />

That will allow you to access .HasFile & also perform .SaveAs

If you are using webforms take a look on FileUpload.
