Hello,

Is there a way to access an XML file within my sitefinity webapp project files in the backend code for a custom user control? The site is developed with vb.net.

Thank you.

Hello Tyler,

Sitefinity is a standard .Net application, so you can use the same approach as in other application. You can check that article for more information:

Hi Svetoslav,

Thanks for the response. If I need the xml file within my local project files (ie. cannot access the outside internet to retrieve the xml file), where in my project folder structure do I place the xml file? How do I access the xml file in the codebehind?

The closest I can find is the sf:resourceLinks for accessing javascript or CSS files. But this is in the aspx html code and not the vb.net codebehind.

Thanks,

Tyler
