I tried to get the directory of the console application using the below code,
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location
but this one gives me where the assemble resides. This may be different from where I executed the application.
My console application parses logs with no parameters. It must go to the logs/
folder inside of the executable's folder or if I give it a path to logs/
it parses it.
Use Environment.CurrentDirectory
.
Gets or sets the fully qualified path of the current working directory.
(MSDN Environment.CurrentDirectory Property)
string logsDirectory = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "logs");
If your application is running in c:\Foo\Bar logsDirectory
will point to c:\Foo\Bar\logs.
