How to get bin folder in ASP.NET Core 1.0

Alternative way (corresponds to the AppDomain.BaseDirectory):

AppContext.BaseDirectory

This works to retrieve the assembly's directory, from which we can determine the bin location.

var location = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location;var directory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(location);System.Console.WriteLine(directory);

Output

C:\MyApplication\bin\Debug\netcoreapp1.0

Well, the bin folder does exists but it is moved to artifacts folder next to the solution file. Since ASP.NET Core RC 1 compiles everything in memory, you will find empty bin folder. But if you set "Produce output on build" option to true (Right click Project file -> Properties and Build tab) then you will find the generated files in bin folder.

I don't think so there is any direct property available as to get the path of this but you can use the same solution pointed out by @Nikolay Kostov to get application path. And then using System.IO classes jump to bin folder.

Code updated to for ASP.NET Core as mentioned here.

public Startup(IHostingEnvironment env, IApplicationEnvironment appenv){     string sAppPath = env.ContentRootPath;     string sRootPath = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(sAppPath, @"..\..\"));     string sBinFolderPath = @"artifacts\bin\" + appenv.ApplicationName;     string sBinPath = Path.Combine(sRootPath, sBinFolderPath);}
