Hi All,

i am developing a new windows services and i need to initialize the path like the way we use to do in windows application

Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath)

but in windows services there is nothing of such type.

and also i need to create the log as i have created the log class now i want the Service name to be logged in the log.txt so how can i find the current service name in my application like using stack trace in windows application and finding the name of a method and a class name.

Thanks in adv.

you can find the information of your service in the registry

you can use this

Path.GetDirectoryName( Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location ) );
