beginner's frustrations

I am trying to find the location of my exe once it is installed on my PDA. I
thought this might work, but it turns out to be unsupported in the Compact
Framework

Label1.Text = Environment.CurrentDirectory





Suggestions?

Steve,

Windows CE doesn't have any current directory. What you want is this:

You need to understand that there is no such thing as a 'current directory'
on Windows CE devices, which explains the lack the CurrentDirectory
property. This question *has* been asked before. You can search the
archives here:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework

The answer is actually given at OpenNETCF, also:

I don't know if this help (maybe I didn't understand question ;))

appPath =
Path.GetDirectoryName(Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.CodeB
ase.ToString)
