So, do some research on server-side file access from a WebForm. Relevant content is a Google away: [^]

And, keep in mind that security configurations vary: you may need to frame your question very specifically in terms of the context in which the WebForm is running, and the context in which the server is running.

After almost half day googling, i solved it out.
I used virtual directory to make reference that folder path in web server.
Thanks guys :)
