I'm trying to build a facility for users to upload a file in my vb.net web application, but have hit a problem. The function (WebClient.UploadFile) seems to require a full path for the source file (e.g. "C:\test.txt").

I'm trying to get this using:

<input type="file">

But it sounds as though this cannot be used to get the full path .

Is there a suitable method I can use instead?

You should be able to get the full path in the backend. – elclanrs Feb 18 '12 at 22:08
How? I've tried using an asp fileUpload, but have the same issue there. – Urbycoz Feb 18 '12 at 22:28
