How can I code the relative path for the URI?

[jrenae]

Hello,

I know this is so simple I just must be tired.

I have written a c# class for my business layer.

When I create an XMLReader with the physical path of the XML file it works fine. But for production I do not know exactly what the path will be be.

How do I pass in the relative path to the application rather than the physical path?

Thanks in advance.

XmlReader xRdr = XmlReader.Create("c:/Projects/myappfolder/myappsubfolder/myxmlfile.xml", xRdrSet);

you can just use .Create("myappsubfolder\myxmlfile.xml") but this will cause the file to be created in the current working directory (not necessarily your app)

So use

using System.IO;

.Create(Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + "\\myappsubfolder\myxmlfile.xml")

Thanks for info but the file isn't being created. It's being accessed in order for the xmlreader to be created (the XMLReader will be reading the file).

Also, I can't use Application.ExecutablePath because it resides under System.Windows.Forms which is not availble to me as I'm working with a class...not a windows application.

Any other ideas?

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Environment.ExecutablePath);


Try that!
