What is a "static XML file" for you?

You can use Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location in combination with Path.Combine if you want to access a file in the same directoy as your executable (or in any subdirectory).

Or did you compile it as a resource? Then, you can't access it via the file system.

When you added it, the file was copied into the directory where your csproj file is.

If you're at development stage, you probably just hit F5 and your program runs.

It run from bin\debug folder, so you need to go up two levels and you'll be at your project root directory. If you created a folder to keep your static files, you'll need to do:

string myStaticXmlFilePath = @"..\..\StaticFiles\MyStaticXmlFile.xml";
