Either add a reference to "System.Windows.Forms.dll" and import the
'System.Windows.Forms' namespace in order to use 'Application.StartupPath'
or use the code below:

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