File access error using asp.net upload control

I have an asp.net website that gets an access denied error when executing the below code.
The website is using an application pool configured with a service account.

MemoryStream destination = new MemoryStream();
using (FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(this.FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName))
{
memStream = new MemoryStream();
memStream.SetLength(fileStream.Length);
fileStream.Read(memStream.GetBuffer(), 0, (int)fileStream.Length);
}

Previously, I used the below code successfully to read the file.
////Load FileUpload's InputStream into Byte array
//byte[] imageBytes = new byte[FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream.Length + 1];
//FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream.Read(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);

I want to create a memory stream to process the text file. Any tips is greatly appreciated.

you can do the your task in the following way

Stream sw = FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream;
byte[] buffer = new byte[sw.Length];
sw.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
sw.Close();

I had attempted that code before. The problem is that it converts the text to a byte array. I need it as a text file/string format.
