[RESOLVED] How to get the Application Path from DAL layer?

[jcis]

First i'll explain that i want to get the Application Path from DAL layer because i don't want to hardcode the path to my Access Database file, i can use the Settings in DAL dll to store values that won't change like database file name but Path is not always the same, it depends on installation folder. Also, I cannot use Application.StartUpPath because i'm in a DLL, not in the EXE.

I found this way is close to what i want, but the problem is that this returns the DLL file path, not the Application file path, so if the DLL is in Windows/System32 instead of the Application Path then this won't work, the blue line gets the path:

      Dim connectionString As String
      Dim lPath As String = New Uri(Assembly.GetAssembly(Me.GetType).CodeBase).LocalPath
      connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & lPath & _
                    "\base\" & My.Settings.DB_NAME & ";Persist Security Info=False;"
