How to handle a window file upload pop up in selenium c#

Question

I have a file upload scenario where i need to enter the file name. Its a windows based file upload pop up. Send keys or window handles wont work as selenium does not recognize it. Other than using Auto IT is there any other way

When an image is uploaded the following tag will be generated [![enter image description here][3]][3]

This has been answered a few times on here but here is what you need to do. Find the input for the file upload and use send keys to the file path. You do not interact with the ui file upload dialog box.

ex:

        string filePath = "c:Filesfile.png";
        driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//input[@type='file']")).SendKeys(filePath);
