Solution 1

Something like this:

VB

string appPath = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath;
        string filePath = appPath + "Text.txt";
        StreamWriter w;
        w = File.CreateText(filePath);
        w.WriteLine("This is a test line.");
        w.WriteLine("This is another line.");
        w.Flush();
        w.Close();

Btw, I would not recommend to write it in the root of your website as the process would need write permissions. It's better to create a sub directory and write your files there.

thanks of your solution,dear Manas.
but i want to write a code that works in these two situations: First) my website is my local computer(before deployment on webserver) . Second: when my website is deployed and located on webserver. when i used your solution to access my .xml file(on my own computer), following error appeared:
Could not find file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\10.0\XMLFile1.xml'.
