Get working directory in binary powershell module

Question

I'm writing a binary powershell module in C# and I can't seem to find out to get the current working directory from within a command.

My first thought was to do a simple Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(); from the System.IO library but it only seems to give me the directory that powershell was launched in.

How can I get the current directory within a binary powershell module during a command execution?

Thanks

Assuming your cmdlet derives from PSCmdlet, using CurrentProviderLocation("FileSystem").ProviderPath should do the job nicely (untested).

In the event that I decide to derive from the base Cmdlet class, do you have any suggestions? I'm finding the PSCmdlet useful but a little bit restrictive.

You might hack up something with multiple classes, or maybe just cheat and call Convert-Path .. Probably ask a new question about that.
