Get current dir in a class library

Question

I'm developing a C# library with .Net Framework 4.5.1 to use it in a Windows 8.1 desktop application. Inside this library project I have a `JSON` file, and I want to load it. First, I have tried to get current directory with this: ``` string currentDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location); ``` But, I have test it and `Assembly.GetEntryAssembly()` is null. Maybe, I can use a resource file instead of a JSON file. This is the method: ``` private void LoadData() { string currentDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location); string file = Path.Combine(currentDir, cardsDir, cardsFile); string json = File.ReadAllText(file); Deck = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Card[]>(json); } ``` Any idea? Is there a better approach? How can I get current dir?

Accepted Answer

try this

```
Environment.CurrentDirectory
```

this will return the current working directory of your application. now you can access any file relative to your application

```
string currentDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(Environment.CurrentDirectory);
```
