What is the equivalent of Application.ExecutablePath in Windows Service

Question

In a windows forms application, I use Application.Executable path to get to the App.config.,

I need to get to app.config in Windows Service.. What would that be ?

Answer 1

A couple of options:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location

For the current assembly. or, you can derive it from a type:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(MyAssemblyType)).Location

Then (on either) you can use Path.GetDirectoryName to get the folder it's originating from (assuming your app.config is within that same directory).
