Enumerating exe file location in vb.net.

[Guest xmob]

This is bugging me. Is there any way to enumerate the location of the currently running exe in vb.net?

All I want to do is open a file that's in the same folder as the exe, but

Dim stream_reader As New IO.StreamReader("file to open")

doesn't seem to work. Putting the full path does, but that's no good when a user can install the application in a choice of locations.

I use this code to determine the app's working directory:

Public strAppPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(

.GetName().CodeBase)

You'll need to add a trailing slash to reference a file. For example, to assign the working directory + filename of a file called "stadium.jpg" to a string...

Private strStadiumImagePath As String = strAppPath & "stadium.jpg"

Nice one!

That worked a treat. Thank you very much.
