I treat the XAP file as a read-only filesystem today, which is why import works for files inside the XAP. In that case Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() "maybe" should give you the root of the XAP file, but I'm not sure how that would look. It would be interesting to see where the filesystem->XAP metaphor falls over.
Also, extending this metaphor to isolated storage is a better suited match. I'd like to support this first-class in Silverlight+DLR, so let me know if you want to write it =) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Foord > Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 4:04 AM > To: Discussion of IronPython > Subject: Re: [IronPython] Current working directory in Silverlight? > > Kenneth Miller wrote: > > All, > > > > > > Trying to execute this code in Silverlight: > > > > from System.IO import Directory > > Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() > > > > What happens when you execute this code? > > > How do I handle directories in silveright?
