Executable directory where application is running from?

Question

I need to get the path (not the executable) where my application is running from:

System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory()

When I run

Answer 1

I needed to know this and came here, before I remembered the Environment class.

In case anyone else had this issue, just use this: Environment.CurrentDirectory.

Example:

Dim dataDirectory As String = String.Format("{0}\Data\", Environment.CurrentDirectory)

When run from Visual Studio in debug mode yeilds:

C:\Development\solution folder\application folder\bin\debug

This is the exact behaviour I needed, and its simple and straightforward enough.
