Accepted answer
I can remember two easy methods:

DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(dir.Parent.FullName);

Or:
Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\\..");

In the first case, you have directory path in dir.Parent.FullName.

Try this

strFilePath = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

strFilePath = Directory.GetParent(strFilePath).ToString();

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(strfilepath)
