Get the application exe name

  • Article

This came up on an internal alias recently…. Nothing earth shattering here, but I figured it might help someone googling for an answer someday… Hey, if it did, drop me a comment and let me know about it…

Question:

I just want the exe name of a console application but have no idea where its at.

For example:

In C++:

#include <iostream.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

            cout<<argv[0]; //This will give you the exe name

}

Answer:

In C#

     class Class1

     {

          static void Main(string[] args)

     {

              Console.WriteLine (Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0]);

     }

     }
