# FileUpload.hasFile is always False

I have a [FileUpload control](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/331/validating-fileupload-control-for-specific-file-type-and-required-field) (and it's not inside an [UpdatePanel](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/151/asp-dot-net-ajax-server-control-updateprogress-updatepanel)) and its hasFile [property](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/205/property-notification-in-c-sharp) is always False.

<[asp](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/751/introduction-to-asp-dot-net-mvc):FileUpload ID="certificateUploader" runat="[server](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/43769/what-is-serverless-architecture-is-it-worth-switching-over)"/>

<input id="filMyFile" type="file" runat="server"></input>

In code save file to server:

```
HttpPostedFile myFile = filMyFile.PostedFile;           string fullPath=Server.MapPath("~/UploadDocuments/") + myFile.FileName;myFile.SaveAs(fullPath);
```

\

Hope this will solve your problem\

Hi Pravesh, try this:\

```
<input id="filMyFile" type="file" runat="server"></input>
```

In code save file to server:

```
HttpPostedFile myFile = filMyFile.PostedFile;           string fullPath=Server.MapPath("~/UploadDocuments/") + myFile.FileName;myFile.SaveAs(fullPath);
```
