Using Dialog boxes....

Question

Hi All,

I need my open and save dialog boxes to point to the location of the Exe that called them at the moment I have (Vis Studio 2008) set the InitialDirectory to the C: drive which is fine on my Desk Top but the application when released into the wild may well be on a network drive, in the past to get around this problem with ini files I have used:

String INIPath = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(); 

I cant find a simple way to do it.

I'd try:

string location = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;

string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(location);
