var element2 = image;
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Convert.FromBase64String(element2));
byte[] imagesbytes = ms.ToArray();
string folder_name = "lab-orders";
folder_name = folder_name.ToLower();
string SaveLocation = ServerConfig.BlobPath + folder_name + "/" + fb+imagesbytes;
BlobUploader.UploadTo(folder_name,img, ms);

//   var filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Userimage/" + postedFile.FileName + extension);
var filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(SaveLocation + postedFile.FileName + extension);
