In general you may use this, regardless if running a test or console app or web app:

// returns the absolute path of assembly, file://C:/.../MyAssembly.dll
var codeBase = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;    
// returns the absolute path of assembly, i.e: C:\...\MyAssembly.dll
var location = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;

If you are running NUnit, then:

// return the absolute path of directory, i.e. C:\...\
var testDirectory = TestContext.CurrentContext.TestDirectory;
