Obtaining the working directory

Guys

How do I find the directory that my current application is running in?
e.g. if i wanted to find the current working directory of regedit internally
(i.e. within the regedit program) it would have C:\Winnt returned.

Thanks

Hi,

You could use :
Assembly.GetExe cutingAssembly( ).CodeBase

it return the directory of the running assembly

or you can use Environment.Cur rentDirectory

Hope this help,
