How to read file contents using Fileupload

Is it possible to read the contents of a file using Fileupload.

For example, I want to save an XML file in a database, the user searches for the file using Fileupload and then click the button to save the contents of the file in the database.

I tried this one but it doesn't work

string s=Fileuploder1.Filecontent.tostring();

but without success, do you have any ideas?

{
    inputContent = inputStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
}

we cannot read the file directly, instead we must save it at the project location. using the path to the project file, we can read using the stream reader.

var filePath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Document"), fileName);
                file.SaveAs(filePath);

                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(filePath))
                {
                    using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Document"), fileName)))
                    {
                        while (sr.Peek() >= 0)
                        {
                            strbuild.AppendFormat(sr.ReadLine());
                        }
                    }

                }
