Drag an image from the Picture Box to the Windows folder

Question

I have an code that pulls an image from the Pictures box into the specified Windows folder. The problem is that my program path appears as part of the image name. I ask that no part of the program path appears as part of the image names.
I remove programDirectory + but nothing happen .

//MouseDown event
 if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left && Pic_Box.Image != null)
            {



                var programFullPath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
                var programDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(programFullPath);
                var pic = (PictureBox)sender;


                string a = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") + ".png";
                Pic_Box.Image.Save(programDirectory  + a.ToString());
                var files = new string[] { programDirectory + a.ToString() };
                var res = pic.DoDragDrop(new DataObject(DataFormats.FileDrop, files), DragDropEffects.Copy | DragDropEffects.Move);
                MessageBox.Show(res.ToString());

            }

@AMER SAID , based on my test, I reproduced your problem. We need to combine the path by using Path.Combine Method to combine directory and files.

You could modify into the following code.

        string a = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") + ".png";  
        string newpath=Path.Combine(programDirectory, a);  
        pictureBox1.Image.Save(newpath);  
 
        var files = new string[] { newpath };  

Result:
