conneceting to a XML credentials file, stored in App_Data

[Victor Paraschiv]

In a webservice I need to store the credentials in a xml file.Of course
the password string is hashed.
The XML is stored in App_Data.
Now I need to open this file for read/write.
I've tryed a lot of paths but none worked.
Cassini tries to open a file from "'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\Common7\IDE\App_Data\Users.xml' and IIS is not far from that.

I've tryed the followind parths:
"~/App_Data/Users.xml"
@".\App_Data\Users.xml"
@"App_Data\Users.xml"
"..\\App_Data\\Users.xml"

and many other varietions but I've got the same result.Cassini and iis
tryed to open the xml in program files.
I feel that is something to write in web config but I don't have a clue.
Any ideas?

Try this
System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.Ap plicationBase
and then append it with your directory i-e app_data
