Ryanshirt Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Hi Folks... Is it possible to use a relative Path to open a File with the System.IO.File ? In ASP.Net or similar Langs you can use .open("../../file.txt"). Do I have to use the absolut path to open a file in VB.Net, I can't even remeber how it was in VB6. Anyway if someone has a answer to my question or a better sugestion how to handle files let me know. Quote
mark007 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Well you can use one of: System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() System.GetEntryAssembly().Location to get the application path and in asp.net there is server.mappath(). Therefore just use Application.StartupPath & "relative path" for example. :) Quote Please check the Knowledge Base before you post. "Computers are useless.

Ryanshirt Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 THX mark, The System.GetEntryAssembly().Location helps me a lot. This was the thing I was looking for. Quote
