How can I create a file at the place where the application exe resides

eg :

my app is in

d:\data\app\app1.exe

now I want to create a file say xyz.txt at the end of execution

d:\data\app\xyz.txt

now if I move my app1.exe to c:\ it must create the file at c:\ without any change in code.

How can I achieve this ?

Thanks.....

This will give you the directory the current assemble is in

string myFile = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory+@"\xyz.txt"

string dirPath = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
After getting the path u should write your code for ctrating your file.

Solution 1

Use just the name of the file as the path, e.g "xyz.txt".
