you can look at something like this

string imageName = name + ".jpg";
var path = Path.Combine(GetApplicationFolder(), "/Images/" + imageName);

if you want to find it via the Assembly you could use the following as well

var path = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);

I think your problem is that the relative path, at least from the code we can see, is relative to the output exe file. I doubt this folder is bin>debug or bin>release. So you would need to go back a certain number of directories (hopes). This article explains relative paths very well.

EDIT:

Unless you have custom compiling option enabled, then you are incorrectly referencing the relative path. Have a look the above link, please.

Hope this helps you!
