I'm converting a windows forms application to a WPF application. Is there a way to obtain things like, Startup Path, User App Data Path, Common App Data Path, etc. without referencing System.Windows.Forms?
Previously, I used System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath
, but the System.Windows.Application.Current
object doesn't contain the same information.
You might want to look at System.Environment.GetFolderPath
.
The values of the SpecialFolder
enum are numerous:
ApplicationData CommonApplicationData CommonProgramFiles Cookies Desktop DesktopDirectory Favorites History InternetCache LocalApplicationData MyComputer MyDocuments MyMusic MyPictures Personal ProgramFiles Programs Recent SendTo StartMenu Startup System Templates
Is that helpful?
this will help
for Application.StartupPath use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.appdomain.basedirectory.aspx
You can use the Environment class to get all types of system information. For directories, use the Environment.GetFolderPath method.
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile);
I understand and agree that referencing to System.Windows.Forms.dll
looks ugly but I think that's better then decrease code re-use and re-invent bicycle instead just one more reference.
I use for example System.Windows.Forms.Application.ProductVersion
in my console apps, don't like that but think that's the lesser evil..
