I'm not sure, but I think what you want is the current executable's directory: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa457089.aspx" rel="ugc nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa457089.aspx</a>

Hi There,<br />
<br />
I created a Standalone app which goes on a cd along with other files in VB.net.<br />
<br />
My question is: As the app reads the files on the cd, how can I get the file path?<br />
<br />
Currently I am hardcoding as &quot;C:\&quot;, but when it goes on CD hardcoded value may not be valid.<br />
<br />
Dim directoryInfo As New IO.DirectoryInfo(&quot;C:\&quot;)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dim fileInfo As FileInfo() = directoryInfo.GetFiles()<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dim files As FileInfo<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
Any advice?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Hi There,

Currently I am hardcoding as "C:\", but when it goes on CD hardcoded value may not be valid.

Dim directoryInfo As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\")

Any advice?

Directory Path

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
