using FileInfo class

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out,
I having issues with a component I have written for .net CF that I now need
to use in the .net desktop framework.

I am using the log4net library and need to read in my logging settings from
a file I place in the same location as my running executable.

In the compact framework the following call returns my location

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase.ToString())

This returns my location as a URI

however on the Desktop frame work when I try and pass this into
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(pConfigLoc);

it throws an exception about not supporting URI formats.


I am pretty new to C# and thought that this should work as is.

could anyone explain what I am doing wrong

thanks
