string filename = strfilename[0] + "_" + string.Format("{0:ddMMyyHHmmssfff}", DateTime.Now) + "." + FileExtension;
string fullpath = filepath +"/" +filename;
if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(context.Server.MapPath("~" + fullpath)))
{
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(context.Server.MapPath("~" + fullpath));

What is the actual string that you use in your call to CreateDirectory, and what status code do you receive?

This is the fullpath i get in the database but path doesn't exist

Are you sure that the path is a sub-directory of the root directory set up for your site?

It seems that you are trying to create a directory with a filename. It does not make any sense. Use System.Io.Path function for concatenation and splitting. Use code block when asking a question. And write robust and maintainable code.

Windows uses the "\" character as a path separator. Instead of using string concatenation to build paths, use System.Io.Path.Combine() instead.

Also, for security reasons, the default account your run your ASP.NET app under (found in the app pool you use) will NOT have permissions to write to files or create directories under the folder your app is running from, or anywhere for that matter.

You have to create a user account for this app and give it the NTFS permissions to write to files and create folders in the app folder you pushing your site to.
