Im trying to get the startup path in a console project I have this

I would like to log events to a .txt file. I think I have this covered for the most part. If I run my application in let's say /Program Files/App/ it will log events to log.txt within the /App directory. However, if I made a desktop shortcut of my app, it writes log.txt to the desktop. How do I set it so my path for my log.txt will always be within the same folder as the .exe and not where the application is run from (like with shortcuts)? how to I get the .exe directory to add it to the path of log.txt?

View 13 RepliesI am using vb.net 2003. In my program, the user can use an openfile dialog box to locate the address of a image and use it to change the display. The name and path of the image is saved in a database. This image is then loaded upon startup. If the image is located in the start-up directory the image change and saving to the database works great. But if the image is located some where else the image change occurs, but the path of the database has changed to the location of the image. Since the database is not located there, I get an unhandle exception error. What is the code to redirect the program to my startup path?

I sent the application exe to a user to test and they get an unhandled exception error and the details show my personal My Documents Folder/DEBUG path from the project. So I tried to use Application.ExecutablePath but when I release that it points to "My Documents" Folder (not the debug) folder. The file to open is in the same folder as the exe is in but for some reason the error occurs because the application is not looking for the file using the path where the EXE was launched from. Here is my code that relates to the section giving my users a problem:

adapted from Major treeview/list view head ache I managed to make the treeview display the folder and the sub folders... but it isn't very hierarchial. Check attached pictures. Image1 shows how it is and image2 shows how I want it to be. Can anyone tell me how to get it to look like image 2?...Image2 was made in Windows Explorer. Image1 is a screenshot of the runing program that I am trying to make. I have been googling around but no luck so far. Practically I think what I shoul be asking is how to create child nodes of subfolders. The program is going to copy whatever the user checks in the treeview into another folder chosen by the user. I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express.
I have a VB 6.0 code that creates file/directory on given path.

View 2 RepliesI am using Environment.CurrentDirectory to get the current directory, i.e. "D:ChuttuProjectsLICinDebug"
But, I want to remove "inDebug"
How can I do that? Or is there any way so that I can get the directory up to "LIC"?
Actually this is my connection string:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|LIC.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
But when I use this and try to insert data into the DB, the data is not inserted. When I use the connection string with a physical path it starts working:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:Chuttu VBProjectsLICLIC.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
I am trying to get the physical path of the mdf file and use it in the connection string.
EDIT:
This piece of code works fine:
Private Sub save()
Dim con As New SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:Chuttu VBProjectsLICLIC.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True")
