Current directory in a library that should work for asp.net and windows app

Suppose you created a library that needs to scan the “current directory” looking for some files, first solution that came in my mind was to use Enviroment.CurrentDirectory, but this is not correct. In a web.application or windows service you will find that CurrentDirectory is c:windowssystem32.

I need a generic way to find a file that is located in the same path of the executables in a windows app, and in base directory for a web.application, I do not want my dll reference the System.Web trying to find if the HttpContext is null, so I do not want to use Server.MapPath() or some other classes related to web project. The solution for such a problem is to use

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

it works perfectly
