Get directory where executed code is located


I know that in the same directory where my code is being executed some files are located. I need to find them and pass to another method:

MyLib.dll
Target1.dll
Target2.dll

Foo(new[] { "..\\..\\Target1.dll", "..\\..\\Target2.dll" });

So I call System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.dll"). But now I need to get know the path:

string path = new FileInfo((Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)).Directory.FullName)

but is there more short way?


Solution

  • You may try the Environment.CurrentDirectory property. Note that depending on the type of application (Console, WinForms, ASP.NET, Windows Service, ...) and the way it is run this might behave differently.
