How do I get the path of the assembly the code is in?

Question

Is there a way to get the path for the assembly in which the current code resides? I do not want the path of the calling assembly, just the one containing the code.

You will get incorrect directory if a path contains the '#' symbol. So I use a modification of the John Sibly answer that is combination UriBuilder.Path and UriBuilder.Fragment:

public static string AssemblyDirectory
{
    get
    {
        string codeBase = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;
        UriBuilder uri = new UriBuilder(codeBase);
        //modification of the John Sibly answer    
        string path = Uri.UnescapeDataString(uri.Path.Replace("/", "\\") + 
          uri.Fragment.Replace("/", "\\"));
        return Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
     }
}
