using Environment.CurrentDirectory as db storage directory

Question

If this example using Environment.CurrentDirectory directory as storage folder like

private static string DbFile
{
    get { return Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\MyDb.sqlite"; }
}

where exactly should I put dbfile to be accessed from visual studio project, and is it ok to use this Environment.CurrentDirectory directory in production code, if yes where should be stored in production.

Answer 1

This is not a good choice of folder.

If you want a path specific to a user, use Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) .

If you want a path specific to the application, then AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory or Application.StartupPath are worth considering.

Answer 2

Environment.CurrentDirectory is the directory from where your application is started. See msdn for more info.

I wouldn't rely on it for production though.
