C#: How do I get the path of the assembly the code is in?
- by George Mauer
Is there a way to get the path for the assembly in which the current code resides? I do not want the path of the calling assembly, just the one containing the code.
Basically my unit test needs to read some xml test files which are located relative to the dll. I want the path to always resolve correctly regardless of whether the testing dll is run from TestDriven.NET, the MbUnit GUI or something else.
Edit: People seem to be misunderstanding what I'm asking.
My test library is located in say c:\projects\myapplication\daotests\bin\Debug\daotests.dll
and I would like to get the "*c:\projects\myapplication\daotests\bin\Debug*" path.
The three suggestions so far fail me when I run from the MbUnit Gui:
Console.Out.Write(Environment.CurrentDirectory)
gives c:\Program Files\MbUnit
Console.Out.Write(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(DaoTests)).Location)
gives C:\Documents and
Settings\george\Local
Settings\Temp\ ....\DaoTests.dll
Console.Out.Write(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
gives the same as the previous
