.NET: Retrieve the Executable's Path and Directory
Find the executable's path and its directory by using System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location. This will return the path to the executable.
// Get the full name path of the executable file
string exeFullName = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
// Get the exe's directory
string dirFullName = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(exeFullName); // NOTE: this will be the directory of the executable which will not be IWebHostEnvironment.ContentRootPath when debugging in Visual Studio
Now use System.IO.Path.Combine() to work in the executable's directory regardless of the platform.
