Get executing assembly name using reflection

Question

I am trying to pull the project name using the reflection, but during the substring method it give me "index out of bound error".

string s = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;           
int idx = s.LastIndexOf(@"\");
s = s.Substring(idx, s.Length);

I don't understand why it is giving error on the third line.

Plz Help.

Answer 1

Try:

System.IO.Path.GetFileName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)

Answer 2

Use the Path class instead of trying to reinvent the wheel and calculating the substring indexes manually.
