dynamic path

[Ankit Aneja]

My service is running fine
when i give full path like this
"E:\c# windows\clamser vice\bin\Releas e\database"

but when i tried for dynamic

"/database"

it compiles well but when i go to Computer Management ->Services and start
it ,it gives

"The clamservice on local computer started and then stopped.Some services
stop automatically
if they have no work to do,for example performance logs and alerts service"

Hi

Windows Service has a different initial Working directory.
Debug.WriteLine (Environment.Cu rrentDirectory. ToString());
The result will be C:\WINDOWS\syst em32, the result may differ according to
where you install Windows.

That is to say it will check the C:\WINDOWS\syst em32 for the relative path.

If you still have any concern, please feel free to post here.

i tried like this

pathdb=Environm ent.CurrentDire ctory.ToString( );

pathdb=pathdb+@ "\database" ;

p.Database.Path =pathdb;

but still at time of start it starts and then stops

and when using hardcoded path from config file

//pathdb=Configur ationSettings.A ppSettings.Get( "dbpath");

it runs fine

As Peter said, the CurrentDirector y property won't be what you expect -
unless you really *have* got a directory called "database" under
c:\Windows\Syst em32, which I really hope you haven't...

You might want to look at Assembly.GetExe cutingAssembly( ) and work out
where the assembly is, so you can make a path relative to that. (You
can find the path using
Assembly.GetMod ule(), then Module.FullyQua lifiedName.)

pathdb=System.I O.Path.GetDirec toryName(System .Reflection.Ass embly.GetEntryA ssembly().Locat ion);

pathdb=pathdb+@ "\database" ;
