Application.StartUpPath in a Windows service

[Mario]

Hi,

I want to get the application startup path of a windows service which is
available with Application.StartupPath in the System.Windows.Forms
namespace.

Since we can not use this namespace in a service, what is the best way to
get the same information that is the path of the EXE for the service?

Thank you for your help,

Mario

Thanks Herfried,

I will have to brush up on my research techniques... I did not look long
enough in the system.reflection class.
