getdirectoryname

string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(
                     Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(MyClass)).CodeBase);

output:

file:\d:\learning\cs\test\test.xml

What's the best way to return only d:\learning\cs\test\test.xml

file:\\ will throw exception when I call doc.Save(returnPath) ,however doc.Load(returnPath); works well. Thank you.

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.
