XamlParseException for accessing XML file when publishing WPF XBAP Project

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a XML file in my XBAP project which is accessed by classes in it.I am able to get the path of file using

C#

System.IO.Path.Combime(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, @"Filename.xml")

and access it using

C#

XDocument.Load(ObtainedPath)

For some reason when I publish my project it does not work and adds a path to the AppData folder and throws an

C#

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException

I have also tried to changed the properties of file to

BuildAction: Content and Copy to Output Directory: Copy Always

and tried to make a direct access, this too does not work. Can someone please help me find a way to access the file when it is published?

Thanks

What error do you get?

It Gives me System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException. Path.Combine() adds a path to AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\..... to the existing file when the project is published, works well otherwise.

Tyr getting the path of the deployment folder something like this.

System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment

used namespace - System.Deployment.dll

Then used following steps to get the directory name

var datadir = System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.DataDirectory

deployment folder path should be something
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\Data\BVPTZA5G3AC\WC2WBZ92.D96\ expe..tion_ba14dd6bedbd6876_0000.0009_7919ca38a4e51341\Data\1.0.0.0

and used this path to get the xml file, I suppose then you can load your xml file.

Hope this helps this help.
