Hi, Is there any way to return the path to the dll that has been used in Netload the addin application? Dale

Or: System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath

[System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath] returns the path to acad.exe. That was my first attempt. I have used the previous blog example successfully. Thanks for response. Dale.

What about ....ExecutablePath? does it also return the ACAD.exe?

Sorry, I use VB, and My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath returns the Path to my .dll, not the Acad.exe. The search I did said that Application.StartupPath was the C# equivalent. Just thought it would be easier than all the code in the DevBlog.
