I have an application that uses an .xml file to load information about objects (Such as strings for name, location etc.. nothing too complicated).
Currently when i use the application the .xml file is stored in:
"/bin/debug"
of my project folder.
If i was to release my application as a standalone .exe how would i go about ensuring the .xml is at a suitable location? For example the application creates the settings file on the Desktop by default but they decide to keep the application .exe in Documents.
What would be the best way to tackle this? Is there any way to save the .xml information to the application itself to remove the need for the .xml in the first place?
Hopefully i’ve given enough information
Thanks
Do the contents of the XML file have to be changed after deployment? If so, I would simply include the xml in your config file, as application settings.
If not, consider using a resource file.
