Setting target application default directory

Brian Donahue

Hi Sean,

ANTS Profiler shouldn't change the working directory that your
application is using, although we've heard of this problem before, but
couldn't duplicate the problem here at Red Gate.

A quick fix may be to specify the current directory in your application
by using Application.StartupPath in your source.

I hope this helps.

ANTS Profiler, form versions 1.3 and up, allows you to set the application's working directory. This shouldn't be a problem any more.
