How to find relative file path for file inside of project?
Dealing with a C# console application, I have a folder inside the project named Files and inside that folder I have a file
Servicos_A.csv
. I want to get a relative path to that file for File I/O. My concern with using absolute path is that when I push it to github it won't work in my colleague's computer cause obviously his filesystem will be different from mine. How can I get to that path? I already searched it and asked generative AIs but it won't work, mostly because using the string assemblyDirectory = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
utility for a part of the path seems to add some unnecessary and non-existing directories into the path for some reason.1 Reply
As long it has no build-action like
Embedded Resource
, and has an output on build time like CopyIfNewer
it's inside the same root
as your dll or exe, that means using Environment.CurrentDirectory
let's you determine the root
.
From there you build your path with the Path
class.
