this folder 2

[seanbo]

i am writing a program that laod some bmp files from a folder called images, located in the same folder as my code. at the moment i load them using code a bit like this:

aPicture = Image.FromFile("Images/picture.bmp");

the program now (almost) has the ability to load by double clicking any file associated with it. the problem is, wheni do that the current directory (System.Environment.CurrentDirectory) is where the save file is, not the code. how can i find what directory the code is in?

I am not sure to understand which folder you are looking but I guess you are asking for the assembly path:

// Retrieve assembly path 
private void MyForm_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//...   
string	assemblyPath = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
int pos = assemblyPath.LastIndexOf('\\');
if(pos == -1)
	return ;
int len = assemblyPath.Length;
assemblyPath = assemblyPath.Remove(pos + 1, len - pos -1);
//...
}

For the @"F:\Visual Studio Projects\MyProject\bin\Debug\myapp.exe"
the above lines will give "F:\Visual Studio Projects\MyProject\bin\Debug\"

Not a nice one but a workaround could be to store your path in the registry on first run and the read the path from there.

You could also do:

string assemblyPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
