How to give the path of Solution Explorer's ' images' folder.

Apr 28 2011 2:06 AM

Hi all,

I have created a vsto addin for word 2007.In this addin, I am generating the ribbon using a custom xml file present in the server. This Custom xml file i am getting from the wcf service.

Now, In my local vsto solution explorer, i have an 'images' folder, through which i am giving images to my ribbon buttons.(I am  dynamically loading the ribbon using the custom xml file in the server and images folder in my solution explorer.)

  I am using the following path to get the "images" folder in my solution explorer.

                      string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;

                       string[] pathArray = path.Split(new char[] {'\\'});
                       path = string.Empty;
                        for (int temp = 0; temp < pathArray.Count() - 3; temp++)
                        {
                            if (temp == 0)
                                path = path + pathArray[temp];
                            else
                                path = path+ "\\" + pathArray[temp];
                        }


             Now, when i am installing the .vsto file in other system, it is searching the 'images' folder in documents and settings and showing the error mesage" c:\\Documents& Settings\\images\\refresh.gif".

Even i tried with the following paths,it is searching the 'images' folder in following paths:

string path = Application.startupPath------> looking for 'images' folder in Program files.

string path = Application.ExecutablePath---------> looking for 'images' folder in Office Folder in Program files.

string path = Environment.CurrentDirectory--------> looking for 'images' folder in c:\\Documents & settings.

How can i  give dynamic images with my .vsto file or is there any other path for giving my solution explorer's image folder.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

KSR Prasad.
