application location

[bbdobuddy]

Hi,

How do I find out the path of the project that I am developing. I want to
create an ini file in the same folder as my application but I don't know how
to access the ini file because I can't seem to get a handle on the path of
the project

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

You can get the path of the executing assembly with:

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location

Note however that in some cases, the assembly is cached, so the path is
not what you may expect (especially for ASP.NET applications).

I can't get a handle onto the Location property for the Assembly class. I am
developing this for a mobile device if this helps anybody
