In WinForm application you don't need to use Server.MapPath.

Instead you can use combine path relative to your application StartupPath.

For example:

Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()

EDIT:

If you want to find file in directory you can use function, example:

string fileNameToFind = "*.txt";
string directoryToSearch = @"C:\Path\To\Folder\To\Search\In";
string[] files = Directory.GetFileSystemEntries(directoryToSearch, fileNameToFind, SearchOption.AllDirectories);
foreach (string f in files)
{
  Console.WriteLine("File: " + f);
}

Console.WriteLine("Total of " + files.Length + " files found.");
