在执行项目C＃中获取文件的路径

Question

I have two separate projects in Solution.

First project is just a Test Console project. And the second project is Common Lib project.

I have static class in Common Lib project that contains a static method which requires reading the file (for OpenNLP).

var sentenceDetector = new EnglishMaximumEntropySentenceDetector("EnglishSD.nbin");

I added file "EnglishSD.nbin" into Common Lib project. I changed the property of that file to ' Content ' and ' Copy always ' too. It does add that file to bin/debug folder of Common Lib project. EDIT: 'EnglishSD.nbin' is located in folder OpenNLP/EnglishSD.nbin

Issue: When I run test console project which uses the static function in Common lib project. It tries to look for 'EnglishSD.nbin' into the bin folder of Test Console Project instead of Common Lib project. Which leads to an error of 'FileNotFound'.

Is there any way to get the path of the file without worrying about where it's being called from?

Answer 1

So your Test Console references your Common Lib ? Then, when you build the Test Console , the CommonLib.dll will be copied to the Test Console project folder. I don't know if there is an automatic way of copying dependencies of libraries that are referenced by the main project...

But you can setup that. Use the post-build-event of the Test Console project and copy your required file manually (I assume that your Common Lib project folder is /Common Lib ):
copy "$(SolutionDir)Common Lib\\EnglishSD.nbin" "$(TargetDir)"

Answer 2

My bad guys. I actually had 'EnglishSD.nbin' in the folder. Therefore it created a folder in TestConsole projects bin/debug and placed files there.

So I just needed to change the path to (FolderName)/EnglishSD.nbin.

 var sentenceDetector = new EnglishMaximumEntropySentenceDetector("OpenNLP/EnglishSD.nbin");
