How to get lprun output folder?

ITWeiHan

I hope to get path of command lprun output folder.

e.g
every time cmd lprun LINQPad will create dll in \AppData\Local\Temp\LINQPad5\ like below photo.

thanks!

Try Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)

@nescafe thanks,yes it could get path on running linq file.
but if i use cli lprun it can not return output path.

e.g
if i use ipconfig , windows system can return ip infoformation

The output folder is dynamic, so a separate lprun cli command would refer to another directory.

You could copy the dll to a known location as part of the script, e.g.

File.Copy(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location, @"C:\Temp\LINQPadQuery.dll");

Somewhere in your main function, or echo the location at the end of your script:

Console.WriteLine(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location));

What are you trying to achieve?

Thanks!

I try to make a unity, it can input .linq file path then output exe like Linqpadless project.
and the logic is using linqpad's cli lprun then adding the generated LINQPadQuery.dll to my exe,so i have to get the lprun output path.

You could use the following script to compile the dll and get a reference to the most recent generated file in the temporary folder within the same application lifetime.

Util.Compile(@"C:\Drive\Projects\LINQPad\Queries\Sample.linq");

var path = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "LINQPad5", $"_{AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetData("LINQPad.InstanceID")}");

var file =
  new DirectoryInfo(path)
    .EnumerateFiles("*.dll") // Or query_*.dll
    .OrderBy(x => x.LastWriteTime)
    .Last();

file.FullName.Dump();
