Question

I have the following code to retrieve a dataset from a database. I would like to write this to an xml file. I have treied the following:

    DataSet dataset = new DataSet();
    string filename = "tester";

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {            
        //get the dataset - THIS WORKS
        RetrieveData();

        //serialize data to a xml file
        dataset.WriteXml(filename + ".xml");
    }

I created a web aplication vs2010 and I cannot find where this file is being written..any ideas?
