How to get path to the projects directory

For example if I would like to get number of files in the project's directory. In Java I would write:

int numberOfFiles = new File(".").listFiles().length;

But I do not know how to get path to the project's directory in .NET. How to achieve the same goal in C#?

It is simple 

var path = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);
var files = Directory.GetFiles(path);

You can get the path to the executable using Application.ExecutablePath and then get the directory from there. Once you have the directory, it is easy to get the file count:

var executingDir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);
var numFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(executingDir).Count();
Console.WriteLine(numFiles);

It's close - use:

int numberOfFiles = Directory.GetFiles(".").Length
