How to find image path in c#?

I want to find image path but I didn't.

my image path : C:\Works\Web5.1.0\Src\Works.WebNext\Password\assets\img my image name : reset_password.jpg

I tried this : string path2 = Path.GetFullPath("reset_password.jpg"); but it's wrong path (output: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv)

and tried this : 

string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase);
string a = Path.Combine(path, "reset_password.jpg");

output : (C:\Works\Web5.1.0\Src\Works.WebNext\bin )

I think, output should be like this : C:\Works\Web5.1.0\Src\Works.WebNext\Password\assets\img

one more thing : image path may not be same another computer so I think give a specific path is not right (for example : C:\Works\Web5.1.0\Src\Works.WebNext\Password\assets\img ) 

X computer : C:\Works\Web5.1.0\Src\Works.WebNext\Password\assets\img
Y computer : C:\Works\Web\Src\Works.WebNext\Password\assets\img

By the way, I am writing with c#.

How can I do ? Any ideas please.

Try this for Web Applications.

string imagePath = "/Password/";  /* Your Image folder */
string path = Server.MapPath(@"ImagePath" + imagePath);

In Windows Application:

try
{
  System.IO.DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo(@"Your local Image directory inside bin/debug");

  FileInfo result = null;
  var list = directory.GetFiles(); // Stackoverflow Exception occurs here
  
  if (list.Count() > 0)
  {
    result = list.OrderByDescending(f => f.LastWriteTime).First();
  }
                
  return result;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
  throw ex;
}

I'm not sure I've understood the issue but an idea of how to find the same file on many systems is:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

This will give you the location of the folder that your running executable is in. The output is in the format of "C:\Folder\Folder\WindowsFormsApplication1\WindowsFormsApplication1\bin\Debug\".

So, you can put the image in the same folder as the .exe, add "imagefilename.type" and you should find it.

Please clarify if this doesn't answer your question.

Following code will give you your desired output

string folderPath = @"C:\Works\Web5.1.0\Src\Works.WebNext\Password\assets\img";
string imgFilePath = Path.Combine(folderPath, "reset_password.jpg")

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() gives the path of the current working directory i.e. the path from where your executables are being run (in your case its 'bin' folder)
