  • Why not use the FileUpload control instead of a Button? http://asp.net-tutorials.com/controls/file-upload-control/

    Using FileUpload control, it will accept file uploads from users and is extremely easy. With the FileUpload control, it can be done with a small amount of lines of code, as you will see in the following example. However, please notice that there are security concerns to to consider when accepting files from users!
