Don't try to store data files in the application folder - it is not a good idea and may be prevented by security policies anyway. Instead, store it in the location specified by Environment.SpecialFolder[^] - either CommonApplicationData or LocalApplicationData is fine.

C#

Console.WriteLine("GetFolderPath: {0}",                  Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData));

You can then apply your application name or GUID and use that as a folder to store your data. It may change between machines, but it will be constant on a specific machine.

If you are developing a Desktop application, then a Setup project can be created in which a folder can be specified, which will be created on the client machine, when your application is installed on that machine.
Creating a Setup project in Visual Studio is explained in this Code Project article.
Visual Studio Windows Application Setup Project[^]
and in this article
http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/58021-deploying-a-c%23-application-visual-studio-setup-project/[^]
Now while running the program to access a file created in the program's installation folder, then Application.StartupPath property can be used, which is explained here
