FileWatcher for project folder

        string outputDirectory = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
        string projectDirectory = Directory.GetParent(outputDirectory).Parent.Parent.Parent.FullName; // Navigate to the project folder

        this.watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();
        this.watcher.Path = projectDirectory;

        string outputDirectory = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
        string projectDirectory = Directory.GetParent(outputDirectory).Parent.Parent.Parent.FullName; // Navigate to the project folder

        this.watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();
        this.watcher.Path = projectDirectory;

You are already using the right tool for it, FileSystemWatcher, what would you like to improve?

i just posted minimal code, i'm attaching events. i want to refactor this: string outputDirectory = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory; string projectDirectory = Directory.GetParent(outputDirectory).Parent.Parent.Parent.FullName; // Navigate to the project folder Is there any magic variable like "ProjectPath"?
