I have created an XML file in my solution path. My solution has multiple projects (one of them is a service), now some of these projects need to refer to the XML file

  1. When I try and use 

    XDocument configXML = new XDocument.Load("Config.xml");

I get an error

Cannot find symbol ‘Load’

I am using System.Xml.Linq

  1. Because I was unable to get around problem 1, i tried

    XElement rootElement = XElement.Load("Config.xml");

this worked, but when I run the program, i get an error:

Unable to find the xml file

since it is searching in the ../Release folder, who can I copy the xml file to the release/debug/deployed folders?

Need some assistance!

    Load is a static method, you don’t need an instance:

    If you want the Config.xml file to be automatically copied to the output directory you could select it in the solution explorer and set its Copy to Output Directory property:
