Resource Directory VB.NET 2005

[Just Me]

I need to access a text document in the folder where my project is stored,
does anyone know how I can tell were the folder is from within a form.

Like me.myDirectory or something like it ?

Just Me,

I would create a registry property from that, others will use a config.file

Hi

If i understnd what you want to find the application path you can use

Dim fullPath As String =
System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get ExecutingAssemb ly().GetName(). CodeBase
then where ever the application is installed you will always be ok
