Solution 2

Use the Path.GetDirectoryName[^] method and the Application.ExecutablePath[^] property to get this:

C#

string appPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);

Solution 1

Use an absolute path instead, this example works for me:

FileInfo file = new FileInfo("Program Files\\SmartDeviceProject1\\File.txt");
using (StreamWriter writer = file.CreateText())
{
    writer.WriteLine("FooBar");
}

Hope this helps,
Fredrik
