 Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2010 11:33 am Post subject: Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location is empty |
 |
|
I am embedding (not merging) an assembly into an .aspx project.
The following code:
| Code: |
Assembly currentAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var folder = Path.GetDirectoryName(currentAssembly.Location); |
blows because Location is "".
What do I do to get the assembly location?
thanks

Embedded assemblies have no useful location to tell you. They aren't decompressed to a temporary location or anything, they are simply loaded from memory.

yes, but it's 'host' assembly must have a location.
Is there any way to get at that? |

Assembly.CodeBase is still set.
string codeBase = assembly.CodeBase;
string localPath = new Uri(codeBase).LocalPath;//NOTE: assembly.Location will often be "" because of {SA}
I'm not sure if this behaviour is guaranteed in {SA} |
