Find path to EXE?

I need to find the path to my EXE. Is there a better way than:

string exePath = Assembly.GetExe cutingAssembly( ).CodeBase;

Thanks.

Use:

Assembly.GetEnt ryAssembly().Lo cation;

This will return the location of your exe.

Hope this helps.

Billl,

If yours is a Windows Forms app, the Application.Sta rtupPath returns the
path to the startup directory of the app, and Application.Exe cutablePath -
the full path of the EXE.

Hi I am new to ASP.NET and am working on an application that runs on a webserver. The user will open up the web interface in a browser on their local machine and enter a path to a directory. I have 2 problems: First, I can't find a control that will let the user browse the file system and specify a directory - the only one I can find is the one that lets the user specify a file.

This seems like a really, really dumb question, but I can't seem to find the simple answer that it seems to deserve. My C#/ASP.net 2.0 app needs to email a URL link back to the site from a web page. Sending the email is no problem, but generating this URL is giving me an annoying issue in testing because of the difference in URLs between the VS web server and IIS.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
