VB.Net Equivalent to AppDir

[Bryan Dickerson]

I looked in the helps and I know that I've seen it before but I can't find
it now. I need to write a 'quickie' pgm that reads a file from the
directory where the .exe is located, so where should I point my
StreamReader? Is there an Assembly.LocationPath or some such?

Thanx!

Bryan,

Give:
System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath()
a try. It should suit your needs.

Let us know if that covers it,

System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath()

 

[poldoj]

dim dir_base_path As String = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath
