I am making a custom control designer inside of VS, and i need to find a way to add a designer file for the custom controls that are made in my designer.
My problem is that i can't find a way to get the path of the project directory at design time, all the usually methods returns the path of the Vs folder :/

Any ideas? :)

Can you please elaborate? What file do you want to open?

The project folder, where all the code files are stored.

The project folder, where all the code files are stored.

Code

"System.Reflection.Assembly.GetAssembly().Location" ???

Nope, at design time it returns a location in the appdata even througth my project is both builded and saved..

Dim AppPath As String = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath

Dim AppPath As String = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath

I have allready tryed it and it does not work at design time

I don't understand what you're trying to do.

What do you mean at "Design Time"? Are you talking about when you debug it ?

[Banksу]

Like when you are debugging it? I believe that's because you're either using a temporary project, or that's just how Visual Studio works with debugging.

Are you think about Application.StartPath? Im confused.

This is design time:

Like a sayed, it's a custom designer to create custom controls (like the form designer), and i neded the path of the project so that i could generate designer files for the custom controls made with it.
Just in case someone else need it, i managed to get the path from the EnvDTE.DTE class found in the EnvDTE dll.

Look at my above post, use Application.Startpath

You should test it before you post. It where the first method i tested, and i't returns a location in the appdata.

Alright, then what is the problem?
Take the path from appdata, because is obvious you put the "working" folder there.
