  • Are you looking for [`Directory.GetCurrentDirectory`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.directory.getcurrentdirectory(v=vs.110).aspx) – Harrison Jan 06 '14 at 21:41

    That would depend on the type of application: console, winforms, wpf, asp.net, windows phone, ... I hope you realize that the fact that you tagged your question with C# is pretty meaningless in this context. – Darin Dimitrov Jan 06 '14 at 21:41
  • application.info.path and many other properties will help you – Ali.Rashidi Jan 06 '14 at 21:42

If you work on Console use this

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

or on Windows Forms use

Application.StartupPath

    @TravisBanger: Your question does not give any indication of that. You should add the appropriate tags. Pro tip: With the WPF reference added, your question is a duplicate of [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/938421/getting-the-applications-directory-from-a-wpf-application) and [that one](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10926506/how-to-get-current-application-path-in-wpf). – O.
