Hi all, would need some help. i wants to rename the filename that was being uploaded by user if the file name had alrdy existed in e folder. i google and found this coding online and have change e file path to a relative path (savePath). it only works if i use a absolute path but not a relative path. how can i solve it using a relative path?

thanks.

yes i did. i don't even have the basic foundation for C#. Yet, im researching and all. Tried all modification/alteration i can/came across. its only out of wits end that i actually decided to post in forum, seeking for some guidance/help. before you even have any idea what i have tried and all, you shouldn't even be judging. if the forum is like what u claim, then what are you even doing here making all these comments?
