Specify installation directory.

Hi Experts,

I was wondering how to tell a program to look in the installation directory for a file.

Glass.WriteXmlSchema("INSTALLATION PATH"\DemoSchema.xsd")

Thanks, Stan

Use the Assembly information & the Directory Info
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Reflection
 
Public Sub Foo()
  Dim executingPath As DirectoryInfo = New FileInfo(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location).Directory
  Dim schemaName As String = "DemoSchema.xsd"
  Dim schemaPath As String = executingPath & "\" & schemaName
End Sub

Thanks, that worked....although I ended up going with a different route. I placed all my files on a server share. That way I don't have to recompile everytime i needed to change a form.
