get the executable name witin a console exe

[Sasuko]

I need to get the .exe name within the same application running... I've tried to use Application.ExecutablePath but the whole Application class doesn't work inside my console application. So how can i do?

Hi Sasuko, You can use Reflection to get the file name of the exe file. You have two options: System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location returns the path to the file the actual code is in. So if you put this line in a class library, it will give you the .dll file. System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location returns the path to the file which was first run to start the application. So whether you put this in your console app, or a class library it references, it will always return the path to the .exe. Hope this helps Philip Cole
