Wonrg Path using My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath (Urgent PLease)

Hi there ,

I have used app.path in VB6.0 and it gives me exact location of my VB Application that is on client pc normally it is C:\Program Files\ProductName or on my PC it is C:\Development\VB.
Using VS 2005 (VB) i am getting this kind of path (samething i am trying to achieve) :

C:\Documents and Settings\azia\Local Settings\Application Data\assembly\dl3\30YRGKJ9.HZC\74ELH8JC.ZZX\2722e3ac\e67c828d_2b80c701

and my application is trying to find a particular file and obviously it won't be able to find this file in there.

and i actually wanted to get the exact location of the VB application (VS2005)

can anyone please help me in order to provide the similar thing like app.path (VB 6.0) in VB.NET

Thanks.

Application.StartupPath will return the path of the executable. Bear in mind that while running from Visual Studio, the application path is going to be in the bin's debug folder which is not where it is going to be after you install the final application.
