Use System.Environment.CurrentDirectory:
'on a console app:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine(System.Environment.CurrentDirectory())
End Sub
End Module

System.Environment.CurrentDirectory() simply returns the current directory
(which can change during execution or by starting the program with a
shortcut with a different "Start In" setting.
According to the Help (look under "App Object Changes"), the official
replacement for App.Path is:
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location
Beware, because this returns the filename of the Exe or dll as well - you'll
need to strip this off to get the directory. Also if the code is in a dll
that is in a different directory than your current application, it will
return that path instead.
If you want to get the path of the main executable that started the
application, use
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly.Location
Instead
Hope this helps,
Trev.
