I have a little command line app tool xyz.exe that accepts a filename f as argument and then will call a program abc.exe that lives in the same folder as xyz.exe with some data as argument plus f.
The ideia would be to drag and drop some file from windows explorer into my program so it calls abc.exe with the proper parameters. When I say to drop into my program, I mean to drop the file into abc.exe, so it runs it with the filename as argument.
The problem is that I need a way to know in which folder abc.exe is. I know it will be the same folder as xyz.exe, but it seems that in drag and drop operations Environment.CurrentDirectory will show up some windows folder instead of the folder where abc.exe/xyz.exe reside.
How can I solve this?
You can do :
Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
to find the current directory.
