App.Path equivalent in VB .Net 2

[jmerencilla]

hi. i just want to know the equivalent code App.Path in VB.Net. I tried System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location. it gives me the path where my .exe file(eg. c:\test\test.exe)is located, but I need to know only the path without the name of my .exe (e.g c:\test). Please help. thanks.

Close. I back-up to the parent directory assuming my assembly is in a BIN directory under the APP path.
Dim strProgPath As String = (New System.IO.FileInfo(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)).DirectoryName&quot
Dim strFilePath As String = (System.IO.Directory.GetParent(strProgPath).FullName)&quot

Hello there,
you could also do Application.StartupPath() To get the path for the executable file that start the application.
