CS FILE CODE:

protected void btnFileUploadSave_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
    {
        string path = Server.MapPath(".") + "\\Files\\" + this.fileUpload.FileName;
        string fileExtension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(this.fileUpload.FileName).ToLower();
        if (fileExtension == ".txt" || fileExtension == ".doc" || fileExtension == ".docx" || fileExtension == ".zip" || fileExtension == ".rar" || fileExtension == ".cs" || fileExtension == ".ppt" || fileExtension == ".pdf" || fileExtension == ".html" || fileExtension == ".jpg" || fileExtension == ".gif" || fileExtension == ".bmp" || fileExtension == ".png" || fileExtension == ".tif" || fileExtension == ".rm" || fileExtension == ".mp3" || fileExtension == ".xls")
        {

        }
    }

If you're putting your UploadControl in an UpdatePanel (Ajax stuff), it won't work by default. Use Update Panel, File Upload Control and use a PostBackTrigger Control to force a postback only for the File Upload Control
