Application.StartupPath equivalent for a console app?

[Cleetus Awreetus]

It doesn't look like the Application namespace is available in a console
app. I want to be able to use Application.StartupPath to get the path
that the program was started in. Is there a console app equivalent for
this?

Here is one solution:

Console.WriteLine(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath)

If you add a reference to System.Windows.Forms, then add an Imports
statement, it will still work in a console app.

Public Module Helpers
Public ReadOnly Property ApplicationPath() As String
Get
Return _
Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetEntryAssembly().Location)
End Get
End Property
End Module

Usage: 'Dim AppPath As String = Helpers.ApplicationPath'.
