System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException

[Berryl Hesh]

I don't know where the "%" sysmbols are coming from, but without them this
is a valid directory. I've pasted both the exception and code that
triggeered it below. The purpose of this code block is to gather a list of
dll's.

Thanks - BH


Here is the Code
/-------------------------------/
private static string[] GetAssemblyPaths() {
var uri = new Uri(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase);
var directory = uri.IsAbsoluteUri ?
Path.GetDirectoryName(uri.AbsolutePath) : Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
return Directory.GetFiles(directory, "*.DLL",
SearchOption.AllDirectories);
}

Here is the Exception
/-------------------------------/
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException was unhandled
Message="Could not find a part of the path

Berryl,

The %20 is just the hex code for a space character.

I wonder if you'd get the same error if you replaced your "directory"
variable in your GetFiles method call with the hard coded value (watch
out for wrap):
@"C:\Documents and Settings\Eric\My Documents\Visual Studio
2008\Projects\Learning\ActiveRecord\src\ActiveRecord.WinTest\bin
\Debug"
