CurrentDirectory

I am building a MS Word add-in with C#.
As part of my project I add a word template "MyDemo.dot" that is going to be in the same directory that my Add-in is being install.

After it has been installed I need to know where my template was placed, I mean the path, for instance "c:\demo\MyDemo.dot".
I used "Path and Directory" classes but both gave me where my MS Word app was installed. I need to know the path to my Add-In.

Thanks

Do you need to know the path from which your compiled application is run from ?
If so then make use of : string pathStr = Application.StartupPath; [does exactly what it says on the tin... ]
I apologise if I've misunderstood the question on this.

Yeah,
I allready try "Application.StartupPath". What happens is that it gives me a path that is not a right one. It always returns a path point to my desktop but it is not there where my add-in is intalled.


Thanks a lot for ur help

Is it a shortcut you're using on the desktop or is it the actual application itself that you have there - hence the computer claiming that this is the start up path.
Can you ensure that you have the application file in an appropriate place (along with the files you need to reference) and then create a shortcut on the desktop ?
I hope I'm not missing the point on this one.
