Hi,

Application.StartupPath

Application.StartupPath

 

[Imran Koradia]

Application.ExecutablePath (with filename) or
Application.StartupPath(without filename). I believe StartupPath directly
corresponds to VB6's App.Path.

hope that helps..

'Application.StartupPath', or more general (can be used in DLL projects
too):

\\\
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Reflection
..
..
..
Private Function ApplicationPath() As String
Return _
Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
End Function
///

Herfried,

Seems that people think this is sarcastic, it is not, we normally see only
the Application.StartupPath I find this a nice addition to that.

What about AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BasePath?

'Application.StartupPath', or more general (can be used in DLL projects

\\\
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Reflection

Private Function ApplicationPath() As String
Return _
Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
End Function

What about AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BasePath?

What if you set up more than one appdomain in your application?

What if you set up more than one appdomain in your application?

If you don't I guess it's usable.

If you do, it depends what exactly do you need to use.

if your code is running inside a DLL then code:
Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
will not give the same results as
'Application.StartupPath'
since it will return the DLL location while the other will give the
executable location, which i need.

Then replace GetExecutingAssembly() with GetEntryAssembly()

HTH,
