What is the best way to get the executing exe's path in .NET?

I usually access the directory that contains my application's .exe with:

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);

string exePath = Application.ExecutablePath;
string startupPath = Application.StartupPath;

EDIT - Without using application object:

string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName( 
      System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase );

See here for more info:
