Getting the absolute path of the executable, using C#?

by

MSDN has an article that says to use System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase; if you need the directory, use System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName on that result.

Or, there’s the shorter Application.ExecutablePath which “Gets the path for the executable file that started the application, including the executable name” so that might mean it’s slightly less reliable depending on how the application was launched.
