Solution 1

You should use Server.MapPath Method[^] to map the folder path.
Try this:

C#

String FilePath; FilePath = Server.MapPath("~/Images/test2.jpg"); pictureBox3.Image.Save(FilePath, ImageFormat.Jpeg);

Please see : ASP.NET MapPath[^]

[Edit 1]

You can use :

C#

string FilePath= Application.StartupPath + "\\Images\\test2.jpg";
pictureBox3.Image.Save(FilePath, ImageFormat.Jpeg);

Also you can use : Path.GetDirectoryName Method[^]

What tells you that the question is about ASP.NET? It looks like a question about... nothing.

Please see the modified answer. :)

I've edited the solution according to the C# tag(Probably Winforms). Please check it. :)

And then, who told you that System.Windows.Forms.Application can be used?
Please see my answer.

The Solution 1 is only good for System.Windows.Forms, as it uses System.Windows.Forms.Application, which is already not good enough, even if "Forms" tag was used in the question. There are different other ways to find out this path, and some are also not universal as they depend on how the application is hosted (it may make it unsuitable for, for example, Windows Services).

This solution I described in my past answer does not have those disadvantages:
How to find my programs directory (executable directory),
How to find my programs directory (current directory, "special folders").
