WinForms app.config path

Hello all,

In a WinForm application I need to return the file path of the
app.config file.

How would I do this?

Thanks all,

Jon

Re: WinForms app.config path

You could use either:

Application.StartupPath

or

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location

The app.config will be located in the directory specified by
Application.StartupPath. I know of no exceptions to this rule, although
someone please correct me if there is.

Peace and Grace,
