How to access the embedded xml in App_Data folder in C# project? [closed]

Question

I have a xml in App_Data folder which I need to access in a page. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Use Server.MapPath to get the path to your file

Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/yourxmlfile.xml")

Answer 2

You could use Server.MapPath as @Ruben-J pointed out, or you could use Path.Combine with PhysicalApplicationPath property of HttpRequest.

string appdata = Path.Combine(HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath, @"App_Data\yourxmlfile.xml");
