Unable to read xml file at content/sample.xml

Question

 I am trying to display xml contents in a DOm element. Below code does not works. Could someome tell what I am doing wrong. The code never goes inside first callback. 

Js file is in JS folder which is at same hierarchy as Content folder.

Windows.Storage.StorageFile.getFileFromPathAsync(".\..\Content\sample.xml").then(
                  function (f) {
                       file = f;
                      var promise = Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument.loadFromFileAsync(file, new Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlLoadSettings()).then(function (xml) {
                         document.getElementById("textarea").innerText = xml.getXml();
                      });
                  });

Answer 1

relative paths (with "..") are not supported. use ms-appx: or mx-appdata: as described here:

hi

I guess this is what you need

    function readItemsXml() {
        Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.current.installedLocation.getFolderAsync(dataFolder).then(function (folder) {
            folder.getFileAsync(filename)
           .then(function (sampleFile) {
               var loadSettings = new Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlLoadSettings;
               loadSettings.prohibitDtd = false;
               loadSettings.resolveExternals = false;
               return Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument.loadFromFileAsync(sampleFile, loadSettings);
               //return  Windows.Storage.FileIO.readTextAsync(sampleFile);
           }).done(function (xmlData) {
               debugger;
               // Data is contained
           }, function () {
               // Data not found
           });
        });
    }

    readItemsXml();
