Hi,

There is no function provided by .Net framework to get the application path
as mentioned by you. But you can do it this way :

e.g.
yourpath = "D:\Test\ThreadExample\DnsLookup\DnsLookup\bin\Deb ug"
path=yourpath.Substring(1, yourpath.IndexOf("\bin"))

how to find Main folder where bin folder exists using application.startuppath in c#

IF
application.startuppath=D:\Test\ThreadExample\DnsL ookup\DnsLookup\bin\Debug

Then i need to find the folder exactly like :
D:\Test\ThreadExample\DnsLookup\DnsLookup

how ??

This depends on which Framework you are using. If you are using VS2005 then you should have the ability to get the directory path with:

 
My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath
 
 

Haven't tried this in C# though so maybe it won't work for you.

The full directory path where your exe file is run from will be determined by

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

(I have been using this)
