Hi,

I want to get the application startup path of a windows service which is
available with Application.StartupPath in the System.Windows.Forms
namespace.

Since we can not use this namespace in a service, what is the best way to
get the same information that is the path of the EXE for the service?

Thank you for your help,

Mario

Private Function ApplicationPath() As String
Return _
Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
End Function

Thanks Herfried,

I will have to brush up on my research techniques... I did not look long
enough in the system.reflection class.
