    Hi,

    I have a managed C++ project starting with:


    Code:
    [STAThreadAttribute]
    int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)

    args[0] is not the program name, but the first argument.

    How do I get the program name, with its full path, i.e. something like "c:\App\foo.exe"?

    GetCommandLine() and GetModuleFileName() don't seem to work with managed code, what can I use?

    Well, found it finally:

    Code:
    Process^ currentProcess = Process::GetCurrentProcess();
    String ^Sbin = currentProcess->MainModule->FileName;
