Hi all,

I'm currently working on a program using Visual Studio 2008, C#, windows form application.

I stored a folder of images in my project folder.
When my program works, it will load the images from the folder.

The problem is, if i copy the whole project folder to another computer.
I'll have to reset the pathway of the folder in the program again.

So, I'm wondering, if there is a way for the program to locate the folder within the project folder, regardless of where the folder is stored?
