    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
