How to get the full winform path?

Question

I have winform, and its full path is C: \ test.exe

How do I get the full winform path at runtime? For example, a user may move winform to other places. Thanks.

Since you use WinForms, there are two simple properties in the Application class:

Application.StartupPath will provide you with the directory in which the application was run.
Application.ExecutablePath will provide you with the full path to the application (including the file name).

This will give you the file name: System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly (). ManifestModule.Name

For the folder name, try: System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly (). Location (not sure ... on my head)

You can call Assembly.GetEntryAssembly () .CodeBase (or location) from a Windows-Form application (but not from ASP.NET applications).

This information is part of the My namespace. The directory path can be found through My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath

You can also use

Environment.CurrentDirectory It will provide you with the full path to the working directory.
