+Summary: Assembly.CodeBase does not return the expected result
+
+Description of Problem:
+I'm using Mono 1.1.16.1 from the x86 Linux Installer.
+
+The goal is to get the program directory:
+
+string assemblyPath =
+System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;
+string programDir =
+Path.GetDirectoryName(assemblyPath.TrimStart("file:///".ToCharArray()));
+
+Result on Windows (.NET 2.0)
+assemblyPath = file:///C:/Projects/TestApp/bin/Debug/TestApp.exe
+programDir = C:\\Projects\\TestApp\\bin\\Debug
+
+Result on Mono/Linux (1.1.16.1):
+assemblyPath = file:///home/username/Projects/TestApp/bin/Debug/TestApp.exe
+programDir = home/username/Projects/TestApp/bin/Debug
+
+The expected result of Assembly.CodeBase on Linux/Mono should be:
+file:////home/username/Projects/TestApp/bin/Debug/TestApp.exe
+
+
+Maybe this is not a bug, but then you need extra code to identify the
+operationsystem. And this is not a good solution.
