Have a look at this pseudocode:
string exe_path = system.get_exe_path()
print "This executable is located in " + exe_path
If I build the above program and place the executable in C:/meow/, It would print out This executable is located in C:/meow/ each time it is run, regardless of the current working directory.
How could I easily accomplish this using C#?
The one that worked for me and isn't above was Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName.
If you are planning to build a console application to be used with Task Scheduler, I'd recommend using this approach:
var execDirectoryPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)?.Replace("file:\\", "");
This way, the path will adapt to whatever location you place your executable file in.
