When we use the below code, automatically it will locate the exe file location only. Our exe will be in bin directory only. When deploy the exe under D:/Muthu, then the file will be placed under D:/Muthu folder. If u want to place the file under D:/Muthu/Tech then concat the strAppPath with Tech folder aswell. (string strAppPath = Application .StartupPath + \Tech ; ) string strAppPath = Application .StartupPath;

To create the folder from application: if (! Directory .Exists(@"D:\Muthu\")) { Directory .CreateDirectory(@"D:\Muthu\"); } //To open new save dialogue popup window: saveFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = @"D:\Muthu\Tech\" ; saveFileDialog1.Title = "Sample file" ; saveFileDialog1.Filter = "All files|*.*|Text Documents (*.txt)|*.txt" ; saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog(); //To save the file without opening a popup window using ( SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog2 = new SaveFileDialog ()) { saveFileDialog2.FileName = @"D:\Muthu\Tech\Sample.txt" ; //To write the string value into the new text file File .WriteAllText(saveFileDialog2.FileName, strValue); }
