            string targetPath = @"C:\honar2";

            // Use Path class to manipulate file and directory paths.
            string sourceFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(sourcePath, fileName);
            string destFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(targetPath, fileName);

            // To copy a folder's contents to a new location:
            // Create a new target folder, if necessary.
            if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(targetPath))
            {
                System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(targetPath);
            }
            System.IO.File.Copy(sourceFile, destFile, true);

You can get directory for the exe file using the System.Environment.CurrentDirectory, then use the System.IO.File.Copy method to copy that file to any destination. Also for getting the current directory you may want to see this

Try this

    string fileName = "test.txt";
    string sourcePath = @"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder";
    string targetPath =  @"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\SubDir";

    // Use Path class to manipulate file and directory paths.
    string sourceFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(sourcePath, fileName);
    string destFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(targetPath, fileName);
    System.IO.File.Copy(sourceFile, destFile, true);
