How to get folder path in Command Prompt stand by, not in C# Console App?

Question

I have created a C# Console App for use in Command Prompt.

Here is my code:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
    Console.WriteLine(path);
}

My result:

I want to get C:\Users\Sophairk instead of C:\testswc.

How to fix my code to get as what I want?

Thanks in advance!

When you call Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location then it will return the path of the executing .exe file.

Assuming that Sophairk is the username of your user, then you can do this:

 string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile);

If it is the current directory that you want, then you can do this

string path = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

You can check out the documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.environment.specialfolder?view=net-6.0

To see what other "Special Folders" are available.
