MVP #3 / 6	Finding App Path in .Net That's not reliable since an app could be started via a shortcut with a different working directory... -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting -- Quote: > Environment.CurrentDirectory. > -- > Jim > Jimco Add-ins > Freeware add-ins and utilities for Microsoft FrontPage > http://www.jimcoaddins.com > > Hi, > > Please give me a pointer if you have time: How do you find > > the path of an application in vb.net? > > Thanks in advance, > > lebroy

Jimco Add-in #4 / 6	Finding App Path in .Net Not so. The CurrentDirectory property will always return the directory from which the current process was initiated. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you start it with a shortcut in a different directory. I have an app right now that access data files in its own directory. Even if I start it from a shortcut on my desktop, the data files are correctly accessed with the CurrentDirectory property because the process was initiated in the directory. -- Jim Jimco Add-ins Freeware add-ins and utilities for Microsoft FrontPage http://www.jimcoaddins.com That's not reliable since an app could be started via a shortcut with a different working directory... -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting -- Quote: > Environment.CurrentDirectory. > -- > Jim > Jimco Add-ins > Freeware add-ins and utilities for Microsoft FrontPage > http://www.jimcoaddins.com > > Hi, > > Please give me a pointer if you have time: How do you find > > the path of an application in vb.net? > > Thanks in advance, > > lebroy

MVP #5 / 6	Finding App Path in .Net You're right ;-)...I was thinking of the Directory.GetCurrentDirectory method. Or maybe cross-pollination with WshShell.CurrentDirectory <g>! -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting -- Quote: > Not so.
