var strFilePath = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(imgphoto); this one is ok in understand. but postedFiles = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(imgphoto).ToString(); you assign same postedFiles variable store data cannot create another variable. use HttpPostedFileBase postedFiles alerdy create variable.

Okay got the issue postedFiles = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(imgphoto).ToString(); In this line GetFileName return string where PostedFiles is a object of HttpPostedFileBase so in place of this you have tore it in another string variable var strFilePath = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(imgphoto); Also it returns a string so no need to convert ToString

[HttpPost] public ActionResult StudentAdmDetail(StudentRegistration StudentRegistrationObj, HttpPostedFileBase postedFiles, HttpPostedFileBase postedFiles1) { if (postedFiles == null ) { var Photosign = StudentRegDal.GetPhotoSign(StudentRegistrationObj.studentDetailId); string photo = Photosign.Rows[0][ "photopath" ].ToString(); Session[ "photopath" ] = photo.ToString(); } string imgphoto = Session[ "photopath" ].ToString(); postedFiles = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(imgphoto).ToString(); if (postedFiles != null ) { int collegeid = Convert.ToInt32(Session[ "collegeid" ].ToString()); int sysuserid = Convert.ToInt32(Session[ "sysuserid" ].ToString()); string ImageName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(postedFiles.FileName); string ImageName1 = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(postedFiles1.FileName); } Actually I am using fileupload control choose select images first time select images insert into database fine no issues. but second time not select fileupload control I retrieve datatable to database. My requirement some fields update so I already insert fileupload control.
