like this => Application.StartupPath+"winform.cs"

No, the forms are compiled into the main application, so they do not exist with the executable itself. If you need the location of the file that created the form, that's something different and isn't very useful at run time, can you explain what you are trying to do with this information?

actually i was working on report viewer and at run time i need a path of my report file .It's on solution explorer directly attached to winFormappliction1.

If the report file is set to copy to the output directory, then you can use the above in something like Application.StartupPath + "\\ReportName.rpt" to get the report, if it's compiled with the application as an embedded resource or content, then its stored inside the executable and you will have to get it out using manifest resource manipulation. Out of curiosity though, why hard code that stuff and not just have an OpenFileDialog and let the user select the report location in case it changes?
