Hi,

how to get the "CurrentDirectory" of an app.

I want to open a file in the apps dir.

... new System.IO.FileStream( ?? + "\\filename.txt") ...

Windows CE does not have the notion of CurrentDirectory, however you can
determine the directory in which your application exists using Reflection -
see this entry in the FAQ for details:-

GetModulePath() will do the trick.

The Win32 API includes a function called GetModuleFileName. If you
pass it NULL as the first argument, it will fetch the full path for
the executable that started the process. You can then parse the full
path to get whatever pieces you want.
