from within an assembly, How to get its name and path?

[José Joye]

Hello,

What is the easiest (and cleanest) way to get from within an assembly
information such as assembly path and name.

eg:
current assembly is:
C:\temp\blabla.dll

I just want to get this "C:\temp\blabla.dll" string back.
Thanks,
José

Jon,

As always you're really quick :-)

Thanks,
José

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;

That will give it as file:///c:/temp/blabla.dll - you can check for and
strip off the file:/// though if you want. (Don't forget that the
assembly may not have been loaded from disk.)

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;

I'd use Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location instead.

Yup, that is indeed a better way.
