xml file location

I use several xml files to store data for list boxes, etc. Then I read them into a dataset using the readxml method with the aid of the Request.PhysicalApplicationPath property. Of course I need a path for the method. My question is how can I ensure that my xml files are uploaded to the proper location on the DA server (and What is the proper location?) and how should I obtain the path for reading the files?

 

Store your XML files in the App_Data directory because the contents of the folder will not be returned in response to direct HTTP requests.

For accessing the XML within the App_Data Folder see :

Thanks very much - I decided to use sql tables instead - the xml method is a bit too cumbersome anyway.
