Gets the path or UNC location of the loaded file that contains the manifest.
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Location As String
Dim instance As [Assembly] Dim value As String value = instance.Location
public virtual string Location { get; }
public: virtual property String^ Location { String^ get (); }
public function get Location () : String
To get the location before the file has been shadow-copied, use the CodeBase property.
The following example displays the location of the loaded file that contains the manifest.
Dim SampleAssembly As [Assembly] ' Instantiate a target object. Dim Integer1 As New Int32() Dim Type1 As Type ' Set the Type instance to the target class type. Type1 = Integer1.GetType() ' Instantiate an Assembly class to the assembly housing the Integer type. SampleAssembly = [Assembly].GetAssembly(Integer1.GetType()) ' Display the physical location of the assembly containing the manifest. Console.WriteLine(("Location=" + SampleAssembly.Location)) End Sub 'Snippet3
Assembly SampleAssembly; // Instantiate a target object. Int32 Integer1 = new Int32(); Type Type1; // Set the Type instance to the target class type. Type1 = Integer1.GetType(); // Instantiate an Assembly class to the assembly housing the Integer type. SampleAssembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(Integer1.GetType()); // Display the physical location of the assembly containing the manifest. Console.WriteLine("Location=" + SampleAssembly.Location);
Assembly^ SampleAssembly; // Instantiate a target object. Int32 Integer1(0); Type^ Type1; // Set the Type instance to the target class type. Type1 = Integer1.GetType(); // Instantiate an Assembly class to the assembly housing the Integer type. SampleAssembly = Assembly::GetAssembly( Integer1.GetType() ); // Display the physical location of the assembly containing the manifest. Console::WriteLine( "Location= {0}", SampleAssembly->Location );
var SampleAssembly : Assembly; // Instantiate a target object. var Integer1 : Int32 = 0; var Type1 : Type; // Set the Type instance to the target class type. Type1 = Integer1.GetType(); // Instantiate an Assembly class to the assembly housing the Integer type. SampleAssembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(Integer1.GetType()); // Display the physical location of the assembly containing the manifest. Console.WriteLine("Location=" + SampleAssembly.Location);
