This isn't a web app. There's no replacement for "~" outside of a web app. It's always best to use fully qualified filepaths, even if you have to build them from a known folder, like this:
string DesktopFolder = Environment.GetFolderPath(SpecialFolder.Desktop); . . . string imagePath = Path.Combine(DesktopFolder, "folobiz\\\\school\\\\Images\\default.jpg");A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^]

As Dave replied, that particular notation is reserved for web-apps. You can write a short method that replaces the "~" character with the path of the running executable, similar to this;
public static string ToRelativePath(string source)
{
return source.Replace("~",
System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location));
}I are Troll :suss:
