app path stopped working

GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Name
This should return the name of the Assembly.

Now for some reason it's returning windows\system32 ?? Either the folder oesn't exist or the way you are trying to access the file is not correct.

A code snippet would be helpful.

Bill Crawley,
Application.StartupPath does not work?

HereobjXML.ReadXml(String.Concat(GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Name, ".xml")) You are just passing the name of the assembly and not the whole path, So your application looks up for the file in System32 folder. And as the file doesn't exist there so you are getting this error.

Try this instead
objXML.ReadXML(String.Concat(Application.StartupPath, "\", System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Name, ".xml"))

it say application doesn't exist.

I had the original declaration in a standard class project, Now I'm using a class in an asp.net project
oops.. if it is an ASP.NET application, then Application.Path won't be present there.

Did you try using System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location

ok,

Have found the answer with the aid of another site.

in the global.asax.vb file declare a public shared variable, then in the session.start set the variable to the request.PhysicalApplicationPath

THen in the class just use this variable and it works.
