Path.GetFullPath Function searches only in Current Project

    private static void saveDirAndFiles(TreeNode currNode)
    {

        using (StreamWriter file =  new StreamWriter("test.html"))
        {
            if(currNode.ValueType=="DIR") //Are you a File or Directory
            {
                file.WriteLine(currNode.Value);//relative Name of Directory
            }
            else
            {
                string[] file1 = File.ReadAllLines(Path.GetFullPath(currNode.Value)); //EXEPTION

                string prgcode = "";
                foreach (string line in file1)
                {
                    prgcode += line;
                }

                file.WriteLine(currNode.Value);//relative Name of File +...
                file.WriteLine(String.Format("<code><pre>{0}</pre></code>", prgcode)); //... The Content of the File
            }

        }
        foreach (TreeNode item in currNode.ChildNodes)
        {
            saveDirAndFiles(item);
        }

    }

The function searches the absolute Path only in the project I'm currently working on. My Project is on the Desktop the file Name is on the C Directory. The Exception says : Project\bin\debug\Filename not found.

Path.GetFullPath gives you the absolute file path for a given path sequence that may be either absolute or relative. It does not even check whether the file exists, nor does it perform a search in the file system.

If you want to load your files from somewhere else, you thus have two options: Either you rebase the relative path explicitly to a different base path using Path.Combine (preferable option) or you change the environments current working directory (may have side-effects in other parts of your application).
