.NET Forum / Languages / C# / December 2005Retrieving path of a DLL
I can retrieve the path of a Windows form using the Application object. However, if I write a class which will be compiled into a DLL, would it be possible to retrieve the DLL path (without passing the Application object to the class) ??? H: Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location  SignatureIgnacio Machin, ignacio.machin AT dot.state.fl.us Florida Department Of Transportation >I can retrieve the path of a Windows form using the Application object. > However, if I write a class which will be compiled into a DLL, would it > be possible to retrieve the DLL path (without passing the Application > object to the class) ??? Yeah, I saw there was a post about the same topic, a few posts earlier. So I deleted my starting post, but somehow you managed to reply anyway. Hi, Well I did the other answer too :) > Yeah, I saw there was a post about the same topic, a few posts earlier. > So I deleted my starting post, but somehow you managed to reply anyway. Huy, You can do this in a many different ways, but the goal is to get reference to the assembly and check out its Location property. For example: 1. From code in the DLL you can do Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location 2. If Foo is a class decalred in the DLL typeof(Foo).Assembly.Location. or using Assembly's static method GetAssembly() or using object of a type decalred in the DLL obj.GetType().Assembly.Location 3. Using the domain AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() and then finding out your assembly and check its Location property. I believe there are more variations on this.
