How to get path for the .exe in C#

How to get path for the .exe in C#

You can use the Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() method to get the path for the currently executing assembly (.exe file) and then get the directory using the Path.GetDirectoryName() method. Here's an example:

 using System; using System.IO; using System.Reflection; class Program { static void Main() { string exePath = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location; string exeDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(exePath); Console.WriteLine("Executable path: {0}", exePath); Console.WriteLine("Executable directory: {0}", exeDir); } }

This will output something like:

 Executable path: C:\MyApp\MyApp.exe Executable directory: C:\MyApp
