Hello everyone,

I am new in windows application and I have created one windows application. In this I want to show images from img folder which is in my project. Now how can I get the images from img folder? I tried with "Application.ExecutablePath", but it is taking path of bin\Debug directory. I put my img folder in bin\Debug folder but when I create a setup project and install it in my computer its not working.

Please tell me how can I take the path of the img folder in windows application using C#?

Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

u use this line

C#

string path =System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location)
to get application path
& in the start of application check if your image folder is not exists create it
if (!Directory.Exists(path + @"\Images"))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(path+ @"\Images");
}

so when you creat u setup project no problem
every time u open your solution it check for folder path

Yogesh,

When you create your setup project, consider placing the image folder someplace that is 'known', such as c:\ProgramData\YogeshApp\img\ (for Vista and Windows 7). Then you can hard code the path.

The code below will take you to your 'known' folder on XP/Vista/7. Use the same notation for installations.

string imagesFolder = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData) + "\\YogeshApp\\img\\";

Solution 6

In code behind file write the following code

string filepath=AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory+"\images";

and use filepath variable at the place where you want access images folder
