Application.ExecutablePath (with filename) or
Application.StartupPath(without filename). I believe StartupPath directly
corresponds to VB6's App.Path.

hope that helps..

'Application.StartupPath', or more general (can be used in DLL projects
too):

\\\
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Reflection
..
..
..
Private Function ApplicationPath() As String
Return _
Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
End Function
///

Seems that people think this is sarcastic, it is not, we normally see only
the Application.StartupPath I find this a nice addition to that.

What if you set up more than one appdomain in your application?

If you don't I guess it's usable.

If you do, it depends what exactly do you need to use.

if your code is running inside a DLL then code:
Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
will not give the same results as
'Application.StartupPath'
since it will return the DLL location while the other will give the
executable location, which i need.

Then replace GetExecutingAssembly() with GetEntryAssembly() ;)

HTH,
