Environment.CurrentDirectory in C#

Well, this blog is mainly focuses on SQL Server technology but sometime I would like to give tips on other Microsoft Technology as I did it in past as well.

I have seen many C# developer use full path to access some file or folder insider the root directory of project. They might be unaware with Environment.CurrentDirectory property.

Have a look at below small tips for that.

string var1;
var1 = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
var1 = var1.Substring(0, var1.Length - 9);

Note: default CurrentDirectory property point to Bin\Debug folder if you are running your application in Debug mode so I removed last nine character to get root path. You can make it more customize as per your need. Hope this will help.

Cheers!!!
