Not sure if I understand your question correctly. So I'm making a few assumptions.

- I assume you want to assign a file to a record (uploaded or not doesn't really matter here)
- You want to show a Link to that file when displaying that records (again. which mode doesn't really matter)

All you need is to store the filename in a field of you record (you can also have a reference to another table etc.).

When showing the record just create a Hyperlink where you link to the folder (accessible over the web) and the file..

Example:

User uploads file "testfile.txt" you store the file to "D:\www\YourApplication\Files\testfile.txt"

When showing the link the relative path to the file could be "~/Files/testfile.txt" (Note: the tilde char (~) is representing your application root.
So you could either store "~/Files/testfile.txt" directly on the record or just the filename itself on the record and when you generate the <asp:hyperlink> control you can set the NavigateUrl Property of it to this path.
