Asp.net FileStream Create throws error if file doesn't exist

Question

I have a file path that might exist or might not exist.

I want to create / override the file, and i have this code:

string filePath = GetFilePath();
using (FileStream file = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
{
    xDoc.Save(file);
}

When i call using (FileStream file ...) and the file doesn't exist, it throws an Could not find a part of the path... error.

I am doing something wrong? shouldn't it create the file if doesn't exist?

FileStream can't create intermediate directories that don't exist. This question should help you.
