System.IO.Directory.GetParent(Application.ExecutablePath)

is exactly the same as:

My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath

If you only do:

Application.ExecutablePath

You will get the executing file appended to the path, which may not be useful at all.

From decompiling Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll, the actual code that gets executed when calling My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath is:

Path.GetDirectoryName(
    new AssemblyInfo(
        Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() ?? Assembly.GetCallingAssembly()).Location);

I think that you search is this sentence:

Application.StartupPath;
//Get file path without file name.

If you are converting a WPF application, you can use the following:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
//gets file path with file name

System.Windows.Clipboard;

System.Media.SystemSounds.[Sound].Play();

System.Windows.Application.Current.Shutdown();

This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but just in case you want to take a shortcut, if you add a reference to the Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly, you can use the nifty tools VB programmers have access via the MyServices namespace.
