ClickOnce deployment location

Question

We have some special requirements:

1. From our application, launch a ClickOnce application. It will download ClickOnce app to user's cache.
2. After it's done, the main app needs to access some file downloaded into ClickOnce app folder.

Is there any way for the main app to know the location of ClickOnce installation folder?

Thanks, yyff

You can do this by examining the executing assembly and retrieving the location.

System.Reflection.Assembly assm = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

This is the location of your ClickOnce deployment. --> assm.CodeBase
