I'm a .NET user, and my goal is as simple as finding the absolute path of the directory of my main executing assembly (the EXE file).

I have several candidates:

  • Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase
  • Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location
  • AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

If to judge by the .NET documentation - I'm leaning towards CodeBase. Can anyone shed light over all three in a bit more specific terms than the .NET documentation? An example to demonstrate the difference perhaps?

.net path directory exe
