How do I take the path of the project in c#?
Is there any function?
Or I have to write the full path on my application?

c# .net

  • When do you want to search for this information? 1) Script execution (Runtime)? 2) During Build (build)?

  • Exact... At the moment you are running. Because I want to know where my project is so that later I can execute a routine of my own, in which I would save a file in a subfolder of the project.

    OK, just for definition: 'Project' != 'Executable'. The answer given by @Isalamon should resolve your question.

Use :

String path = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString();

To create a sub folder you can do so:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        string path = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString();
        //
        string path2 = path.Remove(path.LastIndexOf("\\"));
        path = path2.Remove(path2.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1);
        path += "log";

        System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(path);

    }
}

EDIT

Reviewing a code I found another implementation that does the same thing:

string curDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString());

Then just mount the string with the path you want to create. If you are on the same level batsa do the following :

string new_dir = curDir + "\\..\\log";

System.IO.Directory.Createdirectory(new_dir);

Don’t forget to make all your consistencies.

  • This shows the path to the open executable, not the .csproj. file path..

    I voted against at the beginning, but to see the comment of the PO on need to know the way of executable, I removed the negative vote and now add a positive.

If you want the program execution path:

System.Environment.CurrentDirectory

The method reported by @Isalamon is correct. But it’s also possible to search for Assembly:

String currentPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(Models.Configuracao)).Location);

Where it appears Models. just replace it with the name of the Assembly you want to find the path.
