Response.Write(sb.ToString());
Dim sb As New StringBuilder()
Dim pathstring As String = Context.Request.FilePath.ToString()
sb.Append("Current file path = " & pathstring & "<br />")
sb.Append("File name = " & VirtualPathUtility.GetFileName(pathstring).ToString() & "<br />")
sb.Append("File extension = " & VirtualPathUtility.GetExtension(pathstring).ToString() & "<br />")
