Error 1 The name 'filePath' does not exist in the current context C:\Users\se7olutionyg\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WebApplication4\WebApplication4\Default.aspx.cs 30 44 WebApplication4

this is from the text book, i understand how the system work , but don't know what do they means by filePath
Is that the way we declare the path where the pix are located
second, can anybody explain the keyword,
DirectoryInfo,DirectoryInfo(upFolder);
DataSouce

Spelling mistake in the variable declaration 'string fielPath'.

Change line 16 in your code as below

string filePath = " !/UploadImages/" + upImage.FileName;
void Page_Prerender()
        {
            string upFodler = MapPath("~/UploadImages/");
            DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(upFolder);
            dlstImages.DataSouce = dir.GetFiles();
            dlstImages.DataBind();

how about those stuff?
what should i put in directory info,
datasource,
is taht the source of the image file or what?

Yes its a datasource. It will enlist all files under the folder specified in first line.
