What you are doing is correct. There may be some other problem.

You shouldn't do that. You should use the user's appdata folder

Solution 1

first:
CurrentDirectory is a string so you can remove ToString().

Solution 2

To get the currently running application's folder:

C#

string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);

To get the current working directory:

C#

string path = Environment.CurrentDirectory;

The application folder and the "working" folder are not always necessarily the same.
