[Mono-dev] System.Environment.CurrentDirectory problem

[Adar Wesley]

Hi,

System.Environment.CurrentDirectory is inherited from the calling process.
This is probably your shell.

Try looking at AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory or
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase

Maybe that's what your looking for.
