can anyone tell me if it is possible in C# to open a file which is located in the same folder as the application without specifying the path to that file?
if both file and program is located for example on C:/containfileandprog can i open the file from within a program without writing C:/containfileandprog but just the filename.dat?
i have no control on where the file or the program is going to be installed so i cant specify them in advance. but i can make sure that they both end up in the same folder where ever the enduser might want to put them.
