Here is my question, and I have searched this stackoverflow but cannot find the correct solution.

I have an website, that is stored in (locally on my machine)

C:\websites\Website1

in the same folder I have

C:\websites\Website1\xmldoc.xml

I want to be able for the program to find and access the C:\websites\Website1\xmldoc.xml. I have hard coded the C:\websites\Website1\xmldoc.xml location into my website but I am trying to figure out if there is a better way. I have tried
Application.StartupPath but it doesn’t work.

    You can use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, e.g.

    Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "xmldoc.xml")

    This technique is useful in class libraries that can be called from both Web and Windows applications:

    • in a Web application it resolves to the web application directory.

    • in a WinForms or Console application it resolves to the directory containing the executable.
