How can I get my exe path?

Tony Caduto

Hi,
In Delphi I could use paramstr(0) to get the full path to my exe during
runtime.
Does anyone know the C# equivilent?

Thanks a bunch,

System.Reflection.Assembly a = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly
();
string baseDir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(a.Location);

You can use the Appliaction.StartupPath property for the same.

This might not point to the dir of the EXE!

This points to the dir of the current Assembly (if your assembly is NOT the
EXE it will might point to the wrong directory...)

Application.ExecutablePath

This also includes the name of the .exe.

Use the static method Path.GetDirectoryname on the Executable string
to exclude the exenam.exe part.
