use Server.MapPath to obtain the physical path of a particular directory

//Physical path of the root directory
        Server.MapPath("/")

Server.MapPath is indifferent on whether you use backslashes (\) or forward slashes (/).
For more reference :- Using Server.MapPath [^]

Try:

C#

string file = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data" + filename);

or

C#

string file = Server.MapPath("/App_Data" + filename);

And make sure filename starts with a '/' or '\' as well.
