I want to get the path of my app like: "\\ProgramFiles\\myApp", I try to use the following code:


string path = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase;

But it returns a path which has "\\myapp.exe" at the end.

I also tried:


string path = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

But it throws an “NotSupportedException”.

Is there any way to get a path without .exe at the end?

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
