Get Application EXE name in VS.2005How does one get the name of the executable that is running in VS.2005
using VB.net. I have looked at the my.application object but I can only find My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath which does not include the executable name. Thanks in Advance Laurence Larry wrote:

I don't see it in the my.application object, nor do I see an Application object any where.

Me.Label1.Text = Application.ExecutablePath no me, no my, just Application -- -iwdu15 "iwdu15" <jmmgoalsteratyahoodotcom> schrieb: It's 'System.Windows.Forms.Application'.> Me.Label1.Text = Application.ExecutablePath > > no me, no my, just Application -- M S Herfried K. Wagner M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/> V B <URL:http://classicvb.org/petition/> When I type "Application" I do not get a "." or intellisense,
I do have Windows.Systems.Forms under my references folder. Is it because this is a class Library project? I created a new windows project and when I type "Application" I do get the dot and intellisense. There must be something different about a Class library project. Thank You for you help.

and intellisense. I placed an "Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form" at the top of the class, but typing in "Application." still doesn't do anything, I still have to type "system.Windows.Forms.Application."

If you create an using the standard windows application template, System.Windows.Forms is automatically included and you do not have to Imports it anywhere. My App is a class library, to be compiled into a DLL.
If you create a new project as a windows app, it comes with the System.Windows.Forms. When you create a new project as a Class Library, it doesn't come with System.Windows.Forms. Even when you add a reference to the system.windows.forms under a reference folder, you still have to have "Imports System.Windows.Forms" to get at the Application Object.

Not everything has to start with "Me" or "My"....im
confused on what your confused about? -- -iwdu15 i keep thinking of more ways to explain it....
Application is under the System namespace, and since your importing the System namespace automatically, its the same as typing System.Application hope that explains it a lil better -- -iwdu15 there are Objects and Classes that arent part of your form or project...so
they cant be accessed using "Me.". Application is a good example of that. There are many many many more things that are accessed without the Me (or My in 2005) keyword(s).... -- -iwdu15
