Get Application directory from console program
-
I am writing a C# console program that needs to read a file from the same directory as the application. I can't use the current directory as that is not the same as the application directory. Normally I would use Application.ExecutablePath, but console apps don't derive from Application. Ideas?

System.Reflection.Assembly execAsm = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); string asmPath = execAsm.CodeBase.Replace("file:///", "").Replace('/', '\\'); MessageBox.Show(asmPath);

I'd just got to that point, but I'm using : System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location Thanks.

Application.ExecutablePathworks anyway, try it before you discard it. "We learn more from our mistakes than we do from getting it right the first time." -

That's easy, just use
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectoryto get the running directory and add to it your console application name and you have a path just like Application.ExecutablePath. -
