How to get path of project using custom user control in c#

Question

I created custom user control in WinForms, now I want to get path of project when I drag and drop custom user control to form of new project.

Example: string path = UserControl1.ProjectPath; .

What is the best way to do that?

Answer 1

You can use System.Reflection and the CodeBase of the assembly

var path = Path.GetDirectoryName(typeof(UserControl1).Assembly.CodeBase);

This will give you the folder that contains the DLL; which may or may not be in your project.
