finding a file in a console app

[G. Dean Blake]

I'm writing a console app and want to read an XML file that will be in the
same directory as my .exe file. If I were in a web app I could do:

Dim xtr As New XmlTextReader(server.mappath("myfile.xml"))

but I don't know how to find the path in a console app.

thanks,

The Application class is a Windows.forms class. I's not available in a
console application.

well one way to do it is might be

".\whatever"

I have used that in apps and seems to work.

let me know.
