Get the path to another executable inside the same solution

I am using C #, VS 2005.

I have one solution with two projects.

Project1 needs to start project2 after some checks.

How to get the executable path of Project2 from Project1?

I need a solution for both debugging and live mode.

thanks,

The exe for the second project should have a predictable location relative to the first exe. Obtaining the absolute path for the folder containing your first EXE is easy:

string myPath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location; string myDir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(myPath);

Then add the relative path of your second exe. It is recommended that you save it in the same directory as the 1st,

  string path = System.IO.Path.Combine(myDir, "project2.exe"); System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path);

The easiest way to get this to work both in the IDE and on the target machine is to let the IDE copy project2.exe. Right-click project1, Add Link, Projects tab, select Project2. The Copy Local property for the link will be True, so project2.exe will be in the same directory as project1.exe

If you set the Project2 output directory to a known location for Debug and Release configurations, you can use that famous location in your Project1.
