Can't you just pass the values in as parameters?

string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);

what is the difference? the first one returns the assembly path and second one exe of the applicatiion? All i want to do is get a file content from a path. The file is in the bin folder of apps so i thnk second one is correct.. Pls Correct if i am wrong.. Thanks in advance

Solution 3

string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);

string queries = File.ReadAllText(path);
