You can do this using:

string file = (new System.Uri(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase)).LocalPath;

Are you sure you have referenced the right assembly in your project? Sounds like you are using some "default" assembly since it is located in the .NET folder.

That may actually be the path the program is using... IIRC, It starts out searching for the method call in the GAC before defaulting to the working directory.

The Location of the assembly changes based on redirects and shadow copy. Try using the Codebase property instead.
