What is default directory of File.Open?

I have this code:

Stream f = File.Open("data.majid", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite);

Where will be file created?

Additionally:

  • the working directory can be changed in VisualStudio project settings Project | Properties | Debug

  • if you create a shortcut to the application for a user you can specify the "Start in" property

it will store in current directory . that your application will run

e.g :

if you call Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(); it will return :

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\10.0"

From MSDN;

The path parameter is permitted to specify relative or absolute path information. Relative path information is interpreted as relative to the current working directory. To obtain the current working directory, see GetCurrentDirectory.

Check out Directory.GetCurrentDirectory

The current directory is distinct from the original directory, which is the one from which the process was started.

Usually the directory where the process was started from. This is the current working directory.

From the File.Open MSDN documentation:
