  XElement.Load not working

  Apr 19, 2012 06:56 AM|LINK

  Hello,

  I have this module app and the xelement.load is buggy. It does not correctly map the file. Why?

  Dim store = From c In XElement.Load("App_Data/xml_path/shoe_data.xml").Elements("shoes")
                    Select c

  Error "Could not find file 'C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Module1\bin\Debug\App_Data\xml_path\shoe_data.xml'."

  The error states that it cannot find the xml file under the bin/Debug folder but the file resides in the root project.

  Thank You

  You need to use XDocument.Load() instead of XElement. And also use Server.MapMap("~/App_Data/xml_path/shoe_data.xml") as the path
