Deploy a pdf file, get runtime path for webbrowser()

Alan Murphy

8yAsked Apr 26, 2018, 5:12 AM721Visual Basic .NET

Hello,

I have a help.pdf file which I want to install as part of my installation

When I run my application, I want to be able to access the full pathname to be able to pass it to the WebBrowser function.

I am using Visual Studio Express 2013 and it is a Forms application.

I don't care if it just copies across, or is embedded as a resource in the code, I don't want to access it as a stream and copy it into a byte buffer, I just want a path to the help.pdf file at runtime.

Many thanks,

Alan..

You can get the executable path by the following code.

string fileName = "help.pdf";
// Application.StartupPath returns the root folder of the executable
string path = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, fileName);
webBrowser1.Url = new Uri(path);

Not sure you are looking for this. If not please feel to reply and happy to help more.
