Application.ExecutablePath (with filename) or Application.StartupPath(without filename). I believe StartupPath directly corresponds to VB6's App.Path. hope that helps..

'Application.StartupPath', or more general (can be used in DLL projects too): \\\ Imports System.IO Imports System.Reflection . . . Private Function ApplicationPath() As String Return _ Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location) End Function ///  SignatureHerfried K.

Seems that people think this is sarcastic, it is not, we normally see only the Application.StartupPath I find this a nice addition to that.

If you don't I guess it's usable. If you do, it depends what exactly do you need to use. if your code is running inside a DLL then code: Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location) will not give the same results as 'Application.StartupPath' since it will return the DLL location while the other will give the executable location, which i need. > "z. f." <zigi@info-scopeREMSPAM.co.il> schrieb: > > in VB6 i use App.Path to determine the path my executable run from.
