It is possible to get the path the application is running from.

Just use:

using System.Reflection;
...
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location

this will give you the path of the Application.

If you want just the folder, you can use

 AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

Your wording can be confusing and understood as using the `using clause`. – user2674389 Nov 02 '13 at 13:01
