How do you get the application's directory? I'm trying to get the actual location of the executable. I need to write some temp files in the same directory where the application resides, but I want the location of the application's executable to be dynamic.

Thanks in advance.
 
// Get Application Information
//////////////////////////////////
Process p = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
string appName = p.ProcessName;
string appVersion = p.MainModule.FileVersionInfo.ProductVersion;
string appPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(p.MainModule.FileName);

For UNC path you should do more work.
