The directory the program is launched from?

[Peter]

Hello,

Thanks for looking at my question. This is an easy one. When my program is launched, I would like to know the directory it was launched from. Do you know where I can get this information?

Peter,

look at the Application.StartupPath property.

That returns the path to the executable which started your application. If
your app is launched or hosted by another, the results will be misleading.

To get the path to your assembly, use
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(). Location.
