How to open XML file from a ASP Hyperlink control

[Sri13]

How can I open a XML file from the location mentioned in the web.config file using Hyperlink control?

I have an aspx page with hyperlink control and in code behind I do the following:

hypLink.Text = "Transformed XML";
hypLink.NavigateUrl = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["OutputXML"];

web.config looks like:

<add key="OutputXML" value="C:\Working\MyTest\XMLTransform\App_Data\Transformed.xml"/>

This code is not working. In IE, it doesn't do anything but in FF, it throws a error box with message that the "FF doesn't know how to open this address..."

Move the Transformed.xml file out of the App_Data folder because you won't be able to access it from the browser there.

Then specify a valid URL (not a directory path) for the hypLink.NavigateUrl property.
