I want my app to create a file in a convenient exisiting folder. The logical
place to craete it would be the application's installation folder. Is there
any way that an application can get the path of its own installation - or,
equivelantly, the path from which it was run. (I was going to use
Environment.Com mandLine, which includes the program name, but the help states
"The program name can, but is not required to, include path information."

Application.Sta rtupPath will do what you want.

How about Assembly.GetEnt ryAssembly().Co deBase or one of the other
properties.

StartupPath is easier, you don't have to remove the executable name

I'm writing a Windows program that needs to store some user files.
The logical place to store them is in "Application Data", right?
Is there a good way to find the correct location of that directory,
preferably without any C extensions? It's ok if the directory is
found at installation time rather than runtime, and bdist_wininst does
have a way to find it from a post-installation script. The trouble is
that the post-installation...

Hi,
I want to restore my databases from the old SQL Server installation
into a new installation of SQL Server. My new installation of SQL
Server has different data path from the old installation. In addition,
the data owners of some databases in the old SQL Server installation
are not dbo. I have backups for all the databases in the old
installation SQL Server.
Can anyone tell me how to restore my databases from the old SQL Server

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
