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); }
