  Hello Friends,

  as me was blocked on the same issue from last 3-4 days n tried a lot of different attempts for the same but not a single one turned out to be successful.
  But finally today i got the solution.

  After making it double sure that all the permissions are set to WRITE.

  
  USE string filepath = Server.MapPath("./Images/");
  instead of
  string filepath = Server.MapPath("~//Images//");
  
  the main issue was while mapping a virtual path
  it starts the path from site folder
  so  we need to map with "." instead of "~"
  
  I have tried the same solution on 3 different projects for the same problem.
  all of them started working very smoothly.
  All the best.....  :)

  Please mark this as "ANSWER" if this helps u.

  USE string filepath = Server.MapPath("./Images/");
  instead of
  string filepath = Server.MapPath("~//Images//");

   

  Yes it should be ~ it will resolve the url.. of the image from the images folder..
