Question

It is a WPF application.

I am trying to load a xml file like the following:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("../../doc/test.xml");

but when I publish using Clickonce, it won’t be able to find the document.

How should I get the current location, like basedir?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Try with,

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location) + @"\test.xml");

Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location) this return path of executable file location.
