But the directory is also created at run-time means that directory is not included in our project.

Directory "Videos" exists in the application but the rest of the sub-directories are build at run-time and a file is located in the last directory. I just want to get its absolute path to File-Stream.
????

string file_Path = Server.MapPath("/Videos/" + logged_User.User_Id + "/" + Convert.ToInt32(Session["ID"]) + "/" + file_Name);

var fileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open_Or_Create);
