The FileName property of the FileUpload control is read only. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.fileupload.filename(v=vs.110).aspx

Are you trying to change the name of the file you are uploading?

No, sorry. You can't.

This is not possible due to Security Restrictions. Browsers don't allow this.
FileUpload is set with the path, when user make a selection.

Alternate solution:- use Lable control to display file path rather than FileUpload control.
