C# Get true path of current directory

Question

I have a project, built with Visual Web Developer 2008. I want to be able to extract (with C#), the current folder the project is in now. Until now I had to hard code the true path.

This project is hosted on my computer.

For example, the path I would like to generate:

C:\Users\Guy\Desktop\Project

Thanks! Guy

Solution 1

Directory Of Base Assembly Resolver:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

Solution 2

The safest way:

string temp = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase);

Solution 3

To map a page (or Virtual Directory) to the filesystem location (at runtime) you can user Server.MapPath("/")

Solution 4

Use:

Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase);
