While Uploading File in ASP.NET , Maximum Request Lenght Exceed

I am using following code to save product images. When I upload 5 images, It runs fine but when I upload 6 images, it gives me exception of Maximum Request Length Exceed 

protected void Button1_Click(object sender,EventArgs e) 
   {
       string filepath = Server.MapPath("UploadFiles");
       HttpFileCollection uploadedFiles = Request.Files;
       Span1.Text = string.Empty;

       for(int i = 0;i < uploadedFiles.Count;i++) 
       {
            HttpPostedFile userPostedFile = uploadedFiles[i];

            try 
            {
                if (userPostedFile.ContentLength > 0) 
                {
                    Span1.Text += "File Content Type: " +  userPostedFile.ContentType      + "<br>";
                    Span1.Text += "File Size: " +              userPostedFile.ContentLength           + "kb<br>";
                    Span1.Text += "File Name: " + userPostedFile.FileName + "<br>";

                    userPostedFile.SaveAs(filepath + "\\" +    Path.GetFileName(userPostedFile.FileName));                  
                    Span1.Text += "Location where saved: " +   filepath + "\\" +   Path.GetFileName(userPostedFile.FileName) + "<p>";
                }
            } 
            catch(Exception Ex) 
                {
                    Span1.Text += "Error: <br>" + Ex.Message;
                }
      }
}

You need to set in web.config using httpRuntime tag

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1048576" />
    </system.web>
</configuration>

maxRequestLength

Optional Int32 attribute. Specifies the limit for the input stream buffering threshold, in KB. This limit can be used to prevent denial of service attacks that are caused, for example, by users posting large files to the server. The default is 4096 (4 MB), reference.
