Question

If someone launches my xbap from http://myserver/folder/application.xbap, I would like to get the http://myserver/folder/ part of the url from within the application.

How can I do that?

I have tried:

• System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()
• System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName)
• Environment.CurrentDirectory
• System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location
• AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
• System.Windows.Application.Current.StartupUri.AbsolutePath
• System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0]
• System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.DataDirectory

They all return either the local location on my machine that the xbap got downloaded to and is running from, or the location of the executing assembly, such as C:\Windows\SysWOW64

How can I access the URL that was used to launch an xbap application from within the application itself?

I believe it was BrowserInteropHelper.Source:

Gets the uniform resource identifier (URI) for the location from which a XAML browser application (XBAP) application was launched.
