a) what is the error
b) on what line of code does this error occur?

Use the improve question to provide more details and a concise code snippet of where the error is occurring.

string path;

path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase );

Solution 1

string Path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)

it will give you the path of the ApplicationData folder which is common in different OS

You may use this code:

string path= @"\myvideo.wmv";

path = Application.StartupPath + path;

it will always reach the Debug folder automatically and if you have created the setup, then it will be the path where your application's .exe file is situated at runtime. Remember to place your video in "Drivename:\Project1\bin\Debug\" folder i.e. your video must be in Debug folder.

Hope its helpful.
