Find path to EXE?

I need to find the path to my EXE. Is there a better way than:

string exePath = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;

Thanks.

Use:

Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location;

This will return the location of your exe.

Hope this helps.

Billl,

If yours is a Windows Forms app, the Application.StartupPath returns the
path to the startup directory of the app, and Application.ExecutablePath -
the full path of the EXE.
