Getting the application's directory from a WPF application

I found solutions for Windows Forms with AppDomain but what would be the equivalent for a WPF Application object?

One method:

System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

Another way to do it would be:

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName)

Here is another:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location

You can also use the first argument of the command line arguments:

String exePath = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0]

I used simply string baseDir = Environment.CurrentDirectory; and its work for me.

Good Luck

Edit:

I used to delete this type of mistake but i prefer to edit it because i think the minus point on this answer help people to know about wrong way. :) I understood the above solution is not useful and i changed it to string appBaseDir = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory; Other ways to get it are:

1. string baseDir =   
    System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
 2. String exePath = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0];
 3. string appBaseDir =    System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName
    (System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName);

Good Luck

String exePath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules()[0].FullyQualifiedName;
 string dir = Path.GetDirectoryName(exePath);

Try this!

Try this. Don't forget using System.Reflection.

string baseDir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);

I tried this:

    label1.Content = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

and get also the directory.

You can also use freely Application.StartupPath from System.Windows.Forms, but you must to add reference for System.Windows.Forms assembly!

Just thought I'd add an updated answer for those who need it.

I used to use: My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath to get my applications path. It seems NET6 didn't like this. After using one of the examples below, I noticed IntelliSense suggested this: Environment.ProcessPath

Thus, to get the path to the application exe:

Environment.ProcessPath

To get the folder:

Path.GetDirectoryName(Environment.ProcessPath)

Hope this helps.
