from within an assembly, How to get its name and path?

[José Joye]

Hello,

What is the easiest (and cleanest) way to get from within an assembly
information such as assembly path and name.

eg:
current assembly is:
C:\temp\blabla. dll

I just want to get this "C:\temp\blabla .dll" string back.


Thanks,
José

I'd use Assembly.GetExe cutingAssembly( ).Location instead.
