The current directory may well be different from the directory where the executable is located. If you need the latter, you could use Assembly.Location, Assembly.CodeBase or AppDomain.BaseDirectory (which are all slightly different). — Klaus Gütter, Jul 18 '21 at 06:20

For console app you just need to use

Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "/YOUR_DIR_NAME";

So you can get the current path relative to where the app is started.

Do not use string concatenation to build paths, use Path.Combine; it respects the host system directory separator char – Caius Jard Jul 18 '21 at 06:05
