Question

I am using the following syntax

XDocument config = XDocument.Load(@"path to the xml file");

But i am inlcuding this statement in the c# code.I want to make the path configurable like
declare a key in the web.config file of the application with the name path and i should be able to get that in the c# code
by xdocument cofnig =xdocument.Load(path).

Is it possible this way ?

Answer 1

Perhaps it would be sufficient to do the usual:

const string key="xmlPath";
...    
string path = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[key];
XDocument config = XDocument.Load(path);     

This assumes an web.config which contains:

<appSettings>
  <add key="xmlPath" value="c:\path\to\xml\file.xml" />
</appSettings>
