Question

I have a CSV file in my Visual Stuido 2010 solution and I’m wondering how I can determine the absolute path to that CSV file. I need it to be dynamic as the path does change depending on where the project file is located on a User’s filesystem.

Thanks for the assistance.

If the CSV file is in the working directory of your application, you can get the absolute path using the Path.GetFullPath Method:

var result = Path.GetFullPath("file.csv");
// result == @"C:\Users\...Studio 2010\Projects\MyProject\bin\Debug\file.csv";
