help using relative file paths with loadfile

[Peted]

Hello

bellow is select sample of code im using to dynamicaly load
assembley's and it works, but the assembley.loadfile requires that i
use a absolute directory path.

Is there anyway i can use a relative file path. I just want to access
the dll in subdirectory "deviceinterface" to where the application is
located. (regardeless where the app is located)

any help appreciated

thanks

DirectoryInfo devDir;
FileInfo[] iplDevFiles;

/* list all device interfaces in the directory for user access */
devDir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Documents and
Settings\spock\My Documents\Visual Studio
2005\Projects\IPLinkerator\IPLinkerator\bin\Debug\ DeviceInterface\");
iplDevFiles = devDir.GetFiles("*.dll");


// Dynamically load the selected assembly.
deviceInterfaceAssembly = Assembly.LoadFile(devDir +
devicefile);

Server.MapPath(..) will do it for ASP.NET.

For anything else you could always store a root as an Application
Configuration key. Then concat that to any relative path you use throughout
your app.

I recommend 70-536 study guide for figuring the code for that. MSDN
documentation is as good if your willing to dig.
