Visual Studio addin - get the solution path the addin is running in

Question

I am writing a VS addin where it will load some file from the solution the addin is running in. I am wondering how to get the relative path to the solution.

For instance, I have the application written in : C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Addins

When I am running the addin in this solution : D:\dev1\src\

the relative path should be : D:\dev1\src\

But when I am running the addin in another solution: D:\dev2\src\

the relative path will change as well.

How can get the path? Thanks.

`D:\dev1\src\` would be a full path, not a relative path. – JasonMArcher Aug 05 '14 at 18:02 — JasonMArcher, Aug 05 '14 at 18:02
How to get to the full path, without hard-coding it then? – Luna Lu Aug 05 '14 at 18:26 — Luna Lu, Aug 05 '14 at 18:26
