data access

[Deleted_U_Intel]

I wish to have my application access data outside of the application directory. When I add the directory to my application project, the application does not seem to know where to look for the data it requires in the other directory.

How do I get my application to look for the data in its own directory?

Thank you!

Adding the directory to the project has no effect on the running application. By default, programs run from inside VS will open files in the project directory - the one containing the .vfproj file. If you wish to specify something else, set the "Start In Directory" on the project's Debug property page.
