You could used the PostedFile property to access the content of the file. Using PostedFile you can get the content length, contenttype etc. Also you can directly save the file as 

sFileName = Path.GetFileName(FileUploadCtrl.value)
sFilePath = Path.Combine([your new path] , sFileName)
FileUploadCtrl.PostedFile.SaveAs(sFilePath)

  • You can not extract text from pdf file. You will need an iFilter for this. See the sample in this code project link.. It will give you an idea of what i am saying. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/13391/Using-IFilter-in-C – user3171825 Mar 03 '15 at 14:44
