But i have created my project at the project directory. Now i want to get the path (e:\Project\DataList\). How i will get this? IS there any solution to solve this problem? I have created my crystal report file in the "e:\Project\DataList\" directory. How i will get the path when i will create installation file? Is there any solution to solve this problem? Please help me about this. Is there anybody who can help me?

store the path that u got by application.startupPath in string variable like test
then split that path using the function split('/') and stored in to another variable and use

bina,
you can use simply path=@"\bin\debug";
by default the application directory will be the project directory

...how i will get the current working path

Is this what you are looking for?

string cwd = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
    Console.WriteLine("cwd is '{0}'", cwd);
 
    if (cwd.EndsWith("\\bin\\Debug"))
    {
      cwd = cwd.Replace("\\bin\\Debug", "");
      Console.WriteLine("updated cwd is '{0}'", cwd);
    }
 

For me the output is:
cwd is 'C:\Documents and Settings\per\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication1\bin\Debug'
updated cwd is 'C:\Documents and Settings\per\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication1'

HTH,

Hi Bina,
Try out this
Server.MapPath(Request.ApplicationPath + @''/your folder/");

Simply use (..) for parent directory ...

i.e.
string rptpath = Application.StartupPath() + @"\..\..\";
