It's not a separate file, it's a resource embedded into your executable.

doc.Load(Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Ribbon.xml")).Stream);

Yes, that would retrieve the content from the resource, my 5.

You're not supposed to do that - While there are ways around that they have severe drawbacks, and it's not trivial. Loading it from a regular xml file is *much* simpler.

first you have to to make the Build Action for the file Content then use the

Environment.CurrentDirectory

to get the project path. then you can use the file easily (Read, Write,...)

Thanks All.
