VB.NET ==> getting the path to current directory?

If you want to use the folder in which the program resides, use the following code:

Public SetupFile As String = Application.ExecutablePath

This way, no matter WHERE the program is residing, the path will be to that folder.

If you want it to go specifically to "C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Desktop\asd\", just set "SeupFIle" to "C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Desktop\asd\"

Public SetupFile As String = "C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Desktop\asd\"

I hope I interpreted your question correctly. Good luck.

Vb.net Directory

This first post is correct. Application.ExecutablePath will get you the current path of the running application.

'sorry I have to break this down into lines so it would fit in Yahoo! Answers.
Dim UserProfile as string = System.Enviroment. _
GetEnviromentVariable _
("%USERNAME%")

'this will get you the user profile of the current user
'in your case the UserProfile string would equal
"C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]"

Then just add you folder
ApplicationFolder = UserProfile & "\Desktop\asd"

The nice part about doing it this way. Is that if you run this on vista the enviroment variable will return
"C:\Users\[UserName]"

instead of hard coding a value into your program.
