Easiest way to get the equivalent of vb6 app.path in vs2005 Vb.net

[Bob]

Been looking for that trick for a long time I need the path in which the
executable is running but not including the exe filename.

I'm looking under my.application but nothing there as far as I can see

Any help appreciated.

It should be in My Documents > Visual Studio projects > then the project name.

Which needs an import and cost more processing time (invisible of course).

Good point Cor!

Further, to tell the thruth, that method is not completely equivalent,
as, in case of a dll executing,
I guess it will indicate the dll folder (not necessarily equal to the
app startup dir).

Depending on the context, I guess that sometimes one might even need
that behavior.
