Re: Application Path Nick Seng17-Dec-02 16:11 Nick Seng 17-Dec-02 16:11  Application.StartupPath only works in Vb6 In vb.net, you have 2 choices that work: 1) System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location 2) System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentFolder I hope this helps Notorious SMC The difference between the almost-right word & the right word is a really large matter - it's the difference between the lightning bug and the Lightning Mark Twain Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please Mark Twain Re: Application Path Wayne Phipps17-Dec-02 21:55 Wayne Phipps 17-Dec-02 21:55  If Application.StartupPath is only applicable to VB6 then why did that sample come from the .Net Framework class library? I ask this question because I have just upgraded from Visual Studio 6 to Visual Studion .Net Pro and this sample came from the .Net help. Visual Studio 6 is now not installed. Here is the complette sample... .NET Framework Class Library Application.StartupPath Property [Visual Basic] Public Shared ReadOnly Property StartupPath As String Property Value The path for the executable file that started the application. Example [Visual Basic, C#] The following example gets this property and displays its value in a text box. The example assumes that textBox1 has been placed on a form. Private Sub PrintStartupPath()<br /> textBox1.Text = "The path for the executable file that " & _<br /> "started the application is: " & _<br /> Application.StartupPath<br /> End Sub Requirements Platforms: Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows .NET Server family .NET Framework Security: FileIOPermission for reading and writing files.

That should be all you need! Re: Application Path Nick Seng18-Dec-02 14:36 Nick Seng 18-Dec-02 14:36  That's weird coz this doesn't work for me! The IDE doesn't even recognizes the Application keyword (i.e. there are squigly blue lines underneath the word saying it that 'Application' is not declared) Does anyone know why this happens?

So needless to say, if you declare Imports System.Windows.Forms it should work fine. Re: Application Path Nick Seng18-Dec-02 23:07 Nick Seng 18-Dec-02 23:07  OMG!!! This is really embarassing.It works now. It didn't work before coz i was testing the code in a class library project ( which doesn't include system.windows.forms).

Now that I plan to upgrade to vb.net, I find that these COMs no longer works.

Use the "tlbimp.exe" tool which comes with Visual Studio .NET like this, tlbimp oldcom.dll /out:oldcom.asm.dll then you add a reference to the oldcom.asm.dll file to your .NET app. regards, DarkAngel Re: Using old com objects Nick Seng12-Dec-02 22:51 Nick Seng 12-Dec-02 22:51  Thanx man! you're a life saver!
