How do I get the name of the current executable in C#?
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess()
gets the currently running process. You can use the ProcessName
property to figure out the name. Below is a sample console app.
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
This should suffice:
Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0];
System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName
System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName
- Returns the filename with extension (e.g. MyApp.exe).
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName
- Returns the filename without extension (e.g. MyApp).
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName
- Returns the full path and filename (e.g. C:\Examples\Processes\MyApp.exe). You could then pass this into System.IO.Path.GetFileName()
or System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension()
to achieve the same results as the above.
