URL defeat me when i deploy my application!<urgent>

[jesslee]

hi,everyone.

i have huge movie and sound file in my application.the method i access them is set up a path for them.

for example, wmp.URL = "c:/......" somethings like that, my problem is when i copy all "bin" component to other pc,can not find the file in the path. so i decide to back up my application, then modify the all URL in that back up file,because i want to burn it on cd,so the URL i modify to "F:/.....",but i discover that some pc cd rom drive is not F:, maybe is E: or another.... and i found my method is stupid....

can anyone teach me hpw to solve this problem?thanks!

You mean , you want to detect the CD Drive letter ?? sorry I couldn't understand .

You need to put the sound file somewhere relative to your exe. Like in <Your exe path>\files, or something like that.

Then, get the path where the executable is using AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, and then add to the path from there

so, for example, the code would read...

wmp.URL = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "\files\mysoundfile.wav"
