Question

I have a cursor file in project. I have given the absolute path in code i.e

the problem is this is hard-coded path And i Want relative path so that if i move my solution to another system the code should not effect.

please suggest how to set relative path

//current code i am using   p.Cursor = new Cursor("F:/r.cur"); 

Answer 1

You can use static Directory class - however current directory is distinct from the original directory, which is the one from which the process was started.

System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(); 

So you can use the following to get the directory path of the application executable:

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath); 

Answer 2

use Application.StartupPath returns path for the executable file that started the application.

        string pathCur = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, @"..\..\r.cur");         Cursor = new Cursor(pathCur);
