Upload and download video

I put my webform(UserPage.aspx) in a rootfolder named UpdatePage, and I'm Uploading my Videos In different root folder named: UploadedVideos. Everything is working fine. but when I'm retrieving the Path of the video from the sql server and pass it to the video player in the Gridview, it is looking for the video in UpdatePage/UploadVideos/filename.mp4 instead of root folder UploadVideos/Filename.mp4.

How to solve the issue??

Backend code for uploading file and saving path:

if (fileupload1.HasFile && fileupload1.PostedFile != null && fileupload1.PostedFile.FileName != "")
{
Bal objBal = new Bal();
try
{
string filename = Path.GetFileName(fileupload1.PostedFile.FileName);
fileupload1.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/UploadedVideos/" + filename));
string filepathtostore = string.Format("UploadedVideos/"+filename);
objBal.VideoFilePath = filepathtostore;
objBal.Description = txtDesc.Text.Trim();
objBal.Course = dropdownlist1.SelectedItem.ToString();
objBal.filetype = dropdownlist2.SelectedItem.ToString();
int result = objBal.AdminUploadPhysicsVideoBalFunc(objBal);
if(result>0)
{
labelmsg.Visible = true;
labelmsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
labelmsg.Text = "Video File Updated Successfully";
}
else
{
labelmsg.Visible = true;
labelmsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
labelmsg.Text = "Can't Upload File Try Again.";
}
BindVideoPanel();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
finally
{
objBal = null;
}
}

Backend code for binding Gridview::

private void BindVideoPanel()
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
Bal objBal = new Bal();
try
{
ds = objBal.BindVideoPanelBalFunc();
VideoGridView.DataSource = ds;
VideoGridView.DataBind();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
finally
{
objBal = null;
}
}

Hi,

While storing you are using filepathtostore and your vedio save path is different Server.MapPath("~/UploadedVideos/" + filename. So basically path is wrong. Store Correct path while saving vedio so binding in grid will automatically correct path.
string filepathtostore = Server.MapPath("~/UploadedVideos/" + filename)
