System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException

[Berryl Hesh]

I don't know where the "%" sysmbols are coming from, but without them this
is a valid directory. I've pasted both the exception and code that
triggeered it below. The purpose of this code block is to gather a list of
dll's.

Thanks - BH


Here is the Code
/-------------------------------/
private static string[] GetAssemblyPath s() {
var uri = new Uri(Assembly.Ge tExecutingAssem bly().CodeBase) ;
var directory = uri.IsAbsoluteU ri ?
Path.GetDirecto ryName(uri.Abso lutePath) : Directory.GetCu rrentDirectory( );
return Directory.GetFi les(directory, "*.DLL",
SearchOption.Al lDirectories);
}

Here is the Exception
/-------------------------------/
System.IO.Direc toryNotFoundExc eption was unhandled

Berryl,

The %20 is just the hex code for a space character.

I wonder if you'd get the same error if you replaced your "directory"
variable in your GetFiles method call with the hard coded value (watch
out for wrap):
@"C:\Documen ts and Settings\Eric\M y Documents\Visua l Studio
2008\Projects\L earning\ActiveR ecord\src\Activ eRecord.WinTest \bin
\Debug"
