File not found using Task Scheduler

Question

In my C# code, I reference to an XML file \"file.xml\", which is in the same directory as the executable itself, using XmlDocument.

Answer 1

I met the same problem, and i tried to print out the various path that .Net sets for the program, here's the result on my machine

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory: 
Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();: C:\Windows\system32
Environment.CurrentDirectory: C:\Windows\system32

so you probably want to use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory to locate your file, like this:

string path = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "file.xml");
// use this path to open xml and do your work with it
