Problem with saving an XML file

[smita]

Hi,

I am trying to write to an Xml document. My xml file is present is in the
current working directory but whenever i try to make changes to the file and
save the change in the XML file (which i specify as a parameter to
doc.Save() method) it searches for the file in F:/WINNT/System32 folder...

Even if I specify the path explicitly to
"F:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication4\UserPass.x ml" it gives an error.

I have specified the code below.

May I know if there is any way by which I nee to set the default path to my
current directory.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();

string url="http://localhost/WebApplication4/UserPass.xml";

doc.Load(url);

//Add table tag

XmlElement table = doc.CreateElement("Table");
//Add username tag and text

XmlElement xusername = doc.CreateElement("username");

XmlText usrtxt = doc.CreateTextNode(myusername);

//Save the xml document

string filename = "WebApplication4\\UserPass.xml";

string filepath = Path.GetFullPath(filename);
doc.Save(filepath);

Smita,

I assume your code relies in a Web Application. Therefore you should use Server.MapPath("yourFileName.xml") service to obtain the actual physical path for yourFileName.xml file which is included in the same folder with the ASP .NET web page that executes the code. (The "current folder" is not usable in ASP .NET Web Applications since they are run with ASPNET user credentials in the IIS process, and the system current folder for that process is, as you noticed, the System folder of your operating system).
