Application Class
By Pavel Tsekov

Some interesting static properties of the Application class.

Let's have a look at some of the properties in the Application class, which in part of the System.Windows.Forms namespace.

Application.StartupPath - returns a string value which represents the path to the starting directory of an application (for ex. "C:\Program Files\MyApp")

Application.ExecutablePath - returns a string value which represents the path to the starting directory of an application, concatenated with the executable file of the same application (for ex. "C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.exe")

Application.CompanyName - returns a string value, representing name of the company, which develops the application. In C# this name is the name of outermost namespace of the starting method Main().
(for ex. if we have the following code:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace A
{
 namespace B
 {
  class MainForm : Form
  {
   public MainForm() //constructor
   {
    this.Text="Form name: "+"Form1; ";
    this.Text=this.Text+"Company Name: "+Application.CompanyName;
    
   }
   public static void Main() //starting point
   {
    Application.Run(new MainForm());
   }
  }
 }
}
)

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

  class MainForm : Form
  {
   public MainForm() //constructor
   {
    this.Text="Form name: "+"Form1; ";
    this.Text=this.Text+"Company Name: "+Application.CompanyName;
    
   }
   public static void Main() //starting point
   {
    Application.Run(new MainForm());
   }
  }
)
