If you mean you want to find the directory that has a .sln file in it and work with it, there is no concept in C++ of such a thing as a .sln or a Makefile, or anything else really that was used in the build process to compile your project.
The concept is that you are building machine code to run without a specific runtime environment, although it may need to find other libraries at runtime.
You could hard-code the path in, or the name of the .sln file and then let your program search the filesystem for it in case it finds it, but that’s just about all.
