asp.net image button's imageurl property not showing image of network location?

Question

I am upoloading image to below location:
Location:\MyPC-pc\u165121142\MyFolder\pid\11\Profile\FImage\
But I cannot show the image from above location.
below is my control:

<asp:ImageButton ID="ImgImage"   runat="server" />

I am checking using below method for file exists or not(it works) but when I set image file location to ImageUrl property, I can not see image in browser.

if(System.IO.File.Exists("\\MyPC-pc\u165121142\MyFolder\pid\11\Profile\FImage\Koala6192013104451AM.jpg"))
    {
        ImgImage.ImageUrl="\\MyPC-pc\u165121142\MyFolder\pid\11\Profile\FImage\Koala6192013104451AM.jpg";
    }

note: This folder (u165121142) is in network. I have given it full rights

thanx for the reply by this link is not useful for me. I am storing image on other computer's drive(suppose in your computer's drive(Having permission)). I successfully completed this task. Now I want to use this image from that location where i stored. Note: Hosting computer and the other computer in which i am storing image are in same network. — Kavit Trivedi

The user's browser needs to be able to retrieve from the URL. It's retrieved at display time.

You could either put the file on a web server and use an http url, or you might be able to use a file: url. Either way, the browser won't retrieve from a disk file directly.

Is that your actual code? 'Cause you probably need to use double backslash, like:

if(System.IO.File.Exists("\\\\MyPC-pc\\u165121142\\MyFolder\\pid\\11\\Profile\\FImage\\Koala6192013104451AM.jpg"))
    {
        ImgImage.ImageUrl="\\\\MyPC-pc\\u165121142\\MyFolder\\pid\\11\\Profile\\FImage\\Koala6192013104451AM.jpg";
    }
