Getting the relative directory of a folder in bin/debug in VB

Question

I am currently working on a windows Application project. I have a folder named "documents" in bin/debug that contains subfolders while the subfolders contains word document files. When I click and drag the "documents" folder, i got a complete C:\Users\Satellite\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\WindowsExplorer_VB\WindowsExplorer_VB\bin\Debug\documents. What I want is to get the location of the folder in bin/debug so that the application can read from the directory when installed on a different machine.. Any help...

there wont be a `bin\debug` folder on another machine when deployed...those are VS development folders — Ňɏssa Pøngjǣrdenlarp, Sep 02 '15 at 22:04

Try this:

Dim docPath As String = Path.Combine(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath, "documents")
