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

You need to set the application's current working directory to the correct path. I don't know what it is when Task Scheduler launches your application, but it's never a good idea to assume.

You can do so with Directory.SetCurrentDirectory().

Alternatively, you can use an absolute path to the XML file.
