change image path for upload control dynamically

I am working in ASP.NET and C#.

I have an Fileupload control in my application. I want to change the storage path (on the hard disk) of the image during the upload. How do I go about it.

C# code:

     string filename = Path.GetFileName(fileuploadimages.PostedFile.FileName);
    //Save images into Images folder
    fileuploadimages.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("**~/database/**" + filename));
    //Getting dbconnection from web.config connectionstring
    SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ToString());
    //Open the database connection
    con.Open();
    //Query to insert images path and name into database
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Insert into tblImageupload1(Imagename,Imagepath) values(@ImageName,@ImagePath)", con);
    //Passing parameters to query
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Imagename", filename);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Imagepath", "../Database/" + filename);
    //cmd.Parameters.Add("@price");
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    //Close dbconnection
    con.Close();

Note: I want to change the path ~/database/ dynamically during upload.

You say "While i am Uploading i need change.Because I have separate folders for different types of images", so you probably have a way to detect the type of the image. Let's assume that you have detected the type of the currently uploaded image and stored it in the variable imagetype.

string imagetype = ""; // type of image is here, i.e. "Bird", "Forest", "Mountain"

string imagepath = "/images";
switch (imagetype)
{
  case "Bird": imagepath = "/ImagesOfBirds"; break;
  case "Forest": imagepath = "/ImagesOfForests"; break;
  case "Mountain": imagepath = "/ImagesOfMountains"; break;
}

string path = Path.Combine(imagepath, filename);
fileuploadimages.SaveAs(path);
