Bin folder

[freddy]

I would like to put an access db in the bin folder and not hard code it.

Code: <-- I would like to do this:( when I try it, it does not work)
string sConnString = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data
Source=Project. mdb";

Instead of this:, <--this work fine
string sConnString = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data
Source=E:\\Fred dy\\Projects\\v b.net\\Project Track It\\bin\\Projec t.mdb";

Re: Bin folder

If the exe and the mdb are together in the same bin folder, then you can get
the full path without hardcoding it, just getting the path portion of
System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get ExecutingAssemb ly.Location.
