title: ASP.NET: Get file path on client's machine (Any possible solutions/work arounds?)
body: <p>I have a file upload control on .aspx page where I am extracting basic file information. The requirement is that I need to save absolute path for selected file from client's machine to a db.</p>
  
  <p>I have read on this site as well as else where that by nature ASP.NET doesn't allow to read information from client's machine for security reason.</p>
  
  <p>But I am wondering if there is a way around this issue using js or something to get the absolute path and then pass it to asp.net variables?</p>
