How to get winform fullpath?

I have a winform and its fullpath is C:\test.exe

How do I get the winform fullpath at run time? For example, the user may move the winform to other places. Thanks.

You should be prompted to add a reference to System.Reflection, but this should give you exactly what you want:

  Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;

You can also use

Environment.CurrentDirectory It will get you the fully qualified path of working directory.

This information is part of the My namespace. The directory path can be found via My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath

You can call Assembly.GetEntryAssembly ().CodeBase (or Location) from a Windows-Form application (but not from ASP.NET applications).

This would give you the file name: System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().ManifestModule.Name

For folder name, try: System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location (not sure... on top of my head)
