using System.IO;
string exeDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

You can get exe full path by reflection also.

string exeLocation = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location;

You can this too.

string exeDir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
string exeLocation = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location;

One more way:

string dir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
