For the more technically inclined, this is done via open(2), mmap(2), and mono_register_bundled_assemblies(). In short, there is no directory to return, as the assemblies to not exist as distinct filesystem entries. My guess is that you want the assembly location in order to follow: http://www.mono-project.com/Guidelines:Application_Deployment and use assembly-relative filesystem paths. This cannot work on Android, as you (the developer) do not fully control the app's directory layout. For example, files you create should be $APPDIR/files or $APPDIR/cache (etc.), BUT the actual value of "files" or "cache" is UNDOCUMENTED; you get these via e.g. ContextWrapper.FilesDir [0] or ContextWrapper.CacheDir [1], and the actual filesystem name could change at ~any time (especially considering that any hardware manufacturer could change these values at will...). Add to that the fact that you can't have files extracted at install time (that I could find, and I looked a lot), and things get annoying, fast. So, we theoretically could modify Assembly.Location to return the assembly name encoded within the .apk, e.g. "/data/app/YOUR.APP-1.apk#assemblies/mscorlib.dll", but because of the above I don't see how this would be at all useful, as you'd need /data/data/YOUR.APP/... for actually useful filesystem paths, and the subdir names could be different, and modifying Assembly.Location may not actually be possible.
