Unable to upload a file inside my Content folder, after publishing my asp.net mvc web application to IIS

I have the following action method , which add an uploaded file to a folder:-

if (ModelState.IsValid)
                {
                    string ADusername = User.Identity.Name.Substring(User.Identity.Name.IndexOf("\\") + 1);
                    repository.InsertOrUpdateDataCenter(dc, ADusername);
                    repository.Save();
                    if (DataCenterfile != null)
                    {
                        var fileName = Path.GetFileName(DataCenterfile.FileName);

                        var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(Url.Content("~/Content/uploads")), dc.ID + ".png");
                        DataCenterfile.SaveAs(path);
                    }
                    return RedirectToAction("Details", new { id = dc.ID });
                }

but i am getting the following exception:-

Server Error in '/TMS' Application.

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\TMS\Content\uploads\97.png'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\TMS\Content\uploads\97.png'.

I believe what you want to do is to set the "Build Action" for the Content folder as "Content".

You can do this by selecting the folder in the Solution Explorer, then go under Properties. There you will see the "Build Action" option. Set that to "Content", or maybe "None".
