Bin folder

[freddy]

I would like to put an access db in the bin folder and not hard code it.

Code: <-- I would like to do this:( when I try it, it does not work)
string sConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=Project.mdb";

Instead of this:, <--this work fine
string sConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=E:\\Freddy\\Projects\\vb.net\\Project Track It\\bin\\Project.mdb";

If the exe and the mdb are together in the same bin folder, then you can get
the full path without hardcoding it, just getting the path portion of
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Lo cation.
