Asp.net uploading file

I have a FileLoad controller as such:

     <asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1" runat="server" />

What I like to do is to upload the file to the /images/logos folder on the server once the user selects the gif image:

     string uploadFolder = Server.MapPath("/images/logos/");

     string uploadfile = uploadFolder + "Image1" + ".gif";
     FileUpload1.SaveAs(uploadfile);

When I look at the value of uploadfile it starts with C:....

I believe it should be something like /images/logos/Image1.gif as when it completes, nothing is in the images/logos folder. Note that I do not get any errors.

What am I doing wrong.

Server.MapPath gives you the absolute path on the server based on the relative path you provide.

Server.MapPath("/images/logos/") // Will map to the wwwroot folder
Server.MapPath("~/images/logos/") // Will map to the application folder
