Application.ExecutablePath should do the trick.

i tried that and i tried this Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) ..the latter seems to work for me...thanks anyways – adiagya Apr 13 '13 at 10:19
In the case of an assembly that gets loaded in another process context it's more correct anyway. – Niels Keurentjes Apr 13 '13 at 10:38
