You can't access variables declared in global.asax file.

Instead of using variable "path" just do like this :

Global.asax :-

AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
        const string Chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPOQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
        var random = new Random();
        var result = new string(
            Enumerable.Repeat(Chars, 12)
                .Select(s => s[random.Next(s.Length)])
                .ToArray());

        Application["Path"] = Server.MapPath("~/Content/" + result);  <--------

        Directory.CreateDirectory(Convert.ToString(Application["Path"]));

Controller :-

public ActionResult Index()
{
  var path1 = Convert.ToString(HttpContext.Application["Path"]));  <--------
  return RedirectToAction("About");
}

Now Application["Path"] can be used anywhere in your entire application.

Try this

  1. Use Application variable as stated above.

            or

  2. Declare static variable in Global.asax and access it in controller

    public class MvcApplication:System.Web.HttpApplication

      {

      public static string path;

   protected void Application_Start()
        {
       AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
     const string Chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPOQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
      var random = new Random();
      var result = new string(
        Enumerable.Repeat(Chars, 12)
            .Select(s => s[random.Next(s.Length)])
            .ToArray());

    path = Server.MapPath("~/Content/" + result);
   Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
        }
   }

    In your controller

    var path=MvcApplication.path
