Solution 1

First thing, use Path.Combine to concatenate path.
And check you docLocation variable's value whether it contains illegal characters. Or please post the docLocation variable's value, so we can help you.

It might be helpful,

C#

if (!Directory.Exists(Path.Combine(UploadPath, docLocation)))
{
    Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.Combine(UploadPath, docLocation));
}
var result = Path.Combine(UploadPath, docLocation, OtherFileName);

Behind the scene Combine method will check for the invalid characters using Framework's CheckInvalidPathChars(string item).
