Application path

[Wim]

Hello,

I'm looking for the C# equivalent of App.Path (that is the application
path in Visual Basic). I think it is
System.Security.Policy.ApplicationDirectory.Directory, but when I use
this the compiler says: "An object reference is required for the
nonstatic field, method, or property
'System.Security.Policy.ApplicationDirectory.Directory'"

Hi,

Did you tried:

Application.StartupPath :

Gets the path for the executable file that started the application, not
including the executable name.

Cheers,

Hi,

Try Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(). this will give the
working directory for the application.

What do you think about:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location

I think is better than:

System.Windows.Forms.Application

Application.StartupPath

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.

In what way would that be better?
