Solution 1

You can use Application.StartupPath and then build the relative application path in a windows application.

The remedy in this situation is (probably) to fix the file paths you write to on all machines running your Application so they are "context independent."

Writing files relative to one of the Special Folders referenced by .NET's Environment.SpecialFolder enumeration is a safe way to go [^].

Solution 6

You should use relative path, not absolute path. Here's the code that you can get the project working directory:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location

try this code

C#

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pnControls.Width, pnControls.Height);
            pnControls.DrawToBitmap(bmp, pnControls.Bounds);
            int folderName = 0;
            newPath:
            folderName = folderName + 1;
            string path = "E:\\Test" + folderName;
            if (!Directory.Exists(path))
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
                bmp.Save(path + "\\ID_CARD.bmp");
            }
            else
            {
                goto newPath;
            }
