This is the first time when a product documentation has come to my rescue. The iron speed code documentation has done the trick for me. I am trying to figure out a way to provide the code snippet a format other than image so that it can be in a ‘copy and paste’ format for later purposes. This is the image of the product documentation that had helped me for this particular problem. 
Okey first thing’s first. How I got around the problem? As I have discussed in phase one that I want upload a file into the filesystem using the fileInput control. At the same time I wanted to save that virtual address to the DB location. My approach was I will designate the savelocation value to the url Textbox and ask iron speed to take data from the url Textbox. Another approach may be to declare a hidden asp label. Then assign the savelocation value to the label. Iron speed will pull the data from the label. A normal procedure could have been taking the value from the input file directly. The reason I did not take the approach is because InputFile is an html control. I did not want to get in another hassle of converting html variable into aspx data. Rest is fairly easy.
