[Solved] Streamreader Directory [closed]

Question

When you run a web application, the current working directory of the process isn’t the directory containing your source code. You might want to look at HttpServerUtility.MapPath or HostingEnvironment.MapPath.

Note that this doesn’t really have anything to do with StreamReader – for diagnostic purposes, you’d be better off with something like:

FileInfo file = new FileInfo("../Content/items.xml");
Debug.WriteLine(file.FullName);
