To retrieve the path of the executing assembly (the VB 6.0 equivalent of App.Path), use the following code:

[C#]
String strPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(
 System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase);

[Visual Basic]
Dim strPath As String = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName( _
 System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase)
