If you do a windows app you can do this.
You can do this on your serverside files in ASP.NET as well, only not with a messagebox.

//Get the Image folder from your projekt.
System.IO.DirectoryInfo DI = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo("Image");
            MessageBox.Show(DI.FullName);

With this you got power to use the folder as you want in code.
You can see creation time and Lastaccess and so on.

Ty for voting.

string path = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;

This will give you the exact path where the exe is located. On deploying usually the image folder will be included in the same directory as the exe

Solution 1

Say, your image folder path is "\image" (Folder "image" is just inside the web application root folder)

Then, find the absolute physical path as follows :

string filePath = Server.MapPath("~/image");

application is window based not a web application

Oh..then you should just use the following code:

string filePath = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(relativePath);
