StreamReader defaults to c:\windows\system32\

[lumstar]

Hi again,

When I use a StreamReader to open a file as follows:

StreamReader finschema = new StreamReader("dispPubs.xsl");

I get the following error:

Could not find file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\dispPubs.xsl"

Is there any way to open a file in the current directory without hardcoding it?

Thanks.

Application.ExecutablePath

You can pull the path from this and locate as necessary.

I haven't looked but there may be a different property from Application too. Application.xxxxx

try this

//if you do not specify the path it will take a filename
//and look in the current directory
string path = "textfile.txt";
//string path = @"C:\marty\CSharp\textfile.txt";
using (StreamReader str = new StreamReader((System.IO.Stream)File.OpenRead(path)))
