I think this is really a trivial question to ask,but still i cant figure out d way to do it
I have a class library which refers to certain text files when running .this class library i have referred in another project.the path i have given for the class library o open textfile is System.AppDomai n.CurrentDomain .BaseDirectory+ textfile name...the library did compile ,but when i run the project in which i have referred the library it refers to the project directory...n gives filenot found exception
wat shud be dun??
Thanks

Hi,
this error is a runtime error and not a compile time error
Have you got more details about this exception?
Generally it should have details of the full file path where is was expecting the file to be in.
That should be your key to fixing this issue
Yes its runtime..it gives the fullpath as the project in which m using the library paths debug folder...its searching it der...but the issue is that my library acceses those text files,so ideally they shud be present in the library.placing those files in the debug folder solves d issue but i feel its not rite way to do it
Since you have 2 seperate projects (since your library is your own creation, and your project using the file)
you could either look into using a common directory.. (maybe a temp directory hardcoded into them, so they know where the file is placed)
Or,...I just thought about this one..
since your library should be the primary project, you could define the path of the file in the library, and the secondry project (the project acccessing the library) will get the path of the file from the library.
So the library maintains the path where the file is stored.
cheers (hope i made sense there to you)
Hey Thank You...The latter will work..:)

They were behaving exactly as you programmed them to, but probably not how you thought they would.
You told it to search in the FIRST directory it would "look for assemblies". Which is the current working directory, which is the debug directory. So it will search there for them.
You should note however that dependong on your namespaces that you use, it won't ALWAYS be the current working directory.
That can be found with:
System.Environm ent.CurrentDire ctory

Hi,
the arguments in the previous thread were convincing enough, so I made the
Path class inherit from str/unicode again.
It still can be found in CVS: /python/nondist/sandbox/path/{path.py,test_path.py}
One thing is still different, though: a Path instance won't compare to a regular
string.

Hi,
Given a string representing the path to a file, what is the best way to
get at the filename? Does the OS module provide a function to parse the
path? or is it acceptable to split the string using '/' as delimiters
and get the last 'word'. The reason I'm not entirely happy with that
method is that it is platform specific. I would prefer to use a built
in method if possible.
Cheers,

I need a bullet proof way to combine a root and a relative path to form a FQ
rooted path (similar to a VDir in IIS). Path.Combine alone will not do the
job in all cases. I also need to be sure the no funny business can go on in
the passed "path" that would produce a path not in the root (i.e.
"..\..\dir1"). Here is my first stab at it, but not sure if this is too
much or not enouph to ensure this. Any thoughts are welcome. TIA.

I have to go into these convulsions to get the directory that the
script is in whenever I need to use relative paths. I was wondering if
you guys have a better way:
from os.path import dirname, realpath, abspath
here = dirname(realpath(abspath(__file__.rstrip("c"))))
In particular, this takes care of the case of symlinked, compiled
scripts, which is fairly common at my workplace, and I imagine in many
*nix evironments.
