In VB you could obtain the path of a DLL using App.Path. To obtain meta data about an assembly in .NET you need to use Reflection. Below is an example of how to return the current assembly name, the namespace and path: //Return the assembly name of the executing assembly Debug.WriteLine(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name); //or //Return the assembly name of the specified type Debug.WriteLine(this.GetType().Assembly.GetName().Name); //Return the name space of a specified type Debug.WriteLine(this.GetType().Namespace); //Return the path of the executing assembly path Debug.WriteLine(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location); //or //Return the path of this type Debug.WriteLine(this.GetType().Assembly.GetName().CodeBase); //Return the name of the application Debug.WriteLine(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName);
