XML files dont seem to be read

[davearia]

Hi,

 

I am working on a project and I am trying to publish this application in visual studio.

 

The application has a couple of XML files which it reads from for various uses, in the development environment it is fine. However when I publish to a folder on my desk top, even though all of these files are there in the published folder including these XML files. The application fails to get the information from these XML files. Also I suppose this is ok but I noticed these XML files have been remamed to something like this: file.xml.deploy.

 

Any ideas always appreciated.

 

Thanks, Dave.
