get path for my .exe using c#

Hello I have a question: How can I get my root project path? what I mean is the first folder in the project where the solution is. I found that command :

System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

However it gives me a specific path to the release folder: wanted_Path/bin/Release

So is there other code, should I cut it manually or put my files in the Release folder??

Answer 1

This gives you the root folder:

System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

You can navigate from here using .. or ./ etc.. , Appending .. takes you to folder where .sln file can be found

For .NET framework (thanks to Adiono comment)

Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory,"..\\..\\"))

For .NET core here is a way to do it (thanks to nopara73 comment)

Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(AppContext.BaseDirectory, "..\\..\\..\\")) ;

Answer 2

You can use

string wanted_path = Path.GetDirectoryName(Path.GetDirectoryName(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()));

Answer 3

var requiredPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Path.GetDirectoryName(
System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName( 
      System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase )));

Answer 4

Your program has no knowledge of where your VS project is, so see get path for my .exe and go ../.. to get your project's path.
