Did you try: Application.StartupPath

Edit: If you haven't referenced and imported the namespace System.Windows.Forms that Application class belong to you must Add Reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll and fully qualify this shared property to use it. (System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath)

Alternative is to use: System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

I think he is talking about getting the assembly that is calling the code, in which case it would be..

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetCallingAssembly.Location

Hi,
Yes I was talking about this to get the calling assembly from the *.dll file. Thx a lot.
