How to call out path of local pictures library in ASP.NET web applications

So i have a ASP.NET web app in c#. I've create a method to download files and it works fine. Currently, it's donwloading files in D drive as i pointed out that path. However, i want the files to be downloaded in Local Pictures Library. Below are my codes:

protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.CommandName == "Download")
  {
    Response.Clear();
    Response.ContentType = "application/octect-stream";
    Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "filename=" + e.CommandArgument);
    Response.TransmitFile(Server.MapPath("~/Images/") + e.CommandArgument);
    WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
    //How to add path for pictures library in local machine?
    webClient.DownloadFile(Server.MapPath("~/Images/") + e.CommandArgument, @"d:\myfile.jpg");
    Response.End();
  }
}

In order to get the path of the My Pictures library on the server, you can use the Environment.GetFolderPath method, e.g.:

var path = Path.Combine( 
    Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyPictures), 
    "myfile.jpg");
webClient.DownloadFile(Server.MapPath("~/Images/") + e.CommandArgument, path);

This will use the MyPictures folder of the account that the application pool is using.
