Question

Hello I'm learning ado.net in C#. I have a VB6 background so I wanted to ask you that if I want to change the location of my program and still access it how do i do that ? In VB6 we used to have App.path. What is it in C# ? con.ConnectionString = Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=F:/DVDLogger/dvdLog.accdb; Where in my code do I put the App.path replacement for c# ?
