How would I go about finding the path of the folder that an assembly is
executing within? Specifically I'm concerned with how to do this from any
type of app other than a WinForms or IIS app (like a Console or a
WindowsService). I can do this from WinForms or IIS - it's with the other
types of apps that I'm stumped.

Rather than rely on each particular application shell, is there some way to
determine this just by looking at the assembly.

Thanks everyone.

Hi,

I'm using myAssembly.Location.

Hi Phil,

I agree with Sunny's suggestion.
Did the code below work for you?
static void Main(string[] args)
{

Console.WriteLine(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location
.ToString());
}
