How to determine the folder where extension is executed from?

Question

I'm writing some extension and I need to pull out data from the file that is included into vsix. But if I'll use Environment.CurrentDirectory I will not have this file because this folder points to VS folder not on the extension's one. How can I define it in a run-time?

Answer 1

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase get the path to the executing dll.
