Asha,
The identity under which the ASP.NET worker process runs is what
needs permission. Put the following render tag on an .aspx page in
your application,
<%=System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name%>
This will write out on the page the name of a user on your machine,
if you're running .NET 1.0 it'll probably be "ASPNET". This is the
name of the user that needs permissions to create, read and/or write
the file in question.
Now go into the Properties for that file again, select the Security tab,
and grant* the user named above Read, Write, Modify access privileges
to the XML file and the directory containing it.
*- being liberal here, of course if you're deploying to a real world web
site you'd have a much more deliberate security policy.
