problem with ReadXML file path. please help

3 New Member
Hi, I'm using VB.net 2005.

My dataset is called DsDetails1
My XML file is called details.xml

When I use ReadXML, is there any way that I can set the path of this XML file to be read to be the root of my VB sollution. I need to be able to move the project around to different computers while coding, and I do not want to change the connection string every time.

tried:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DsDetails1.ReadXml("|DataDirectory|\Details.xml")
as with a database, but that didn't work.

Is there anything similar that I can do? Please help!

Hi - just found my answer in the MDSN forums.

In case anyone else would like to know the answer:
I put my details.xml file in the bin\debug folder of the sollution and use the following code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DsDetails1.ReadXML(Application.StartupPath + "\\details.xml")
