How can I get the application's path in .NET in a console app?

Hi,

I would like to find the absolute path from where my exe file is running.

i.e if i run my application/exe from c:\my-app\myapp.exe then it should return c:\my-app.

My target is to find my database location inside the db folder.开发者_Go百科

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase gives you the name of the exe, and System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(...) then pulls the directory part out.
