How to locate the startup for .NET .DLL?

Hello

Thanks for reviewing my question. I have written a .NET .DLL and I would like to know how I can find out its start up folder at run-time? I know in Win32 you can use GetModuleName() to find out but how do you do it in the .NET Framework

Many Thanks to the Expert
Pete

I figured it out. You can do either two ways shown below

Assembly mainAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
Console.WriteLine("Location is {0}", mainAssembly.Location )

Module mainMod = mainAssembly.GetModules()[0]
Console.WriteLine("Location is {0}", mainMod.FullyQualifiedName )
