Running C# out of VStudio. XMLWriter

I am using XMLWriter to create a XML structure on a ConsoleApplication in C#. When I run it inside VisualStudio works, but the problem comes when I run it from Windows Command (cmd).

I have copied in another directory, but it does not create "numberOfHouses.txt".

XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.Indent = true;
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create("numberOfHouses.txt", settings);
writer.WriteStartElement("CITY");
writer.WriteElementString("HOUSES","12");
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.Close();

Any suggestion?

thanks

You probably can't write to the system32 folder where cmd is ran from – Sayse Jul 24 '13 at 15:16
I suppose that this is running in a directory where you don't have permissions – Steve Jul 24 '13 at 15:16
It doest write the file. – Daniel Camacho Jul 24 '13 at 15:16
See Steve's comment or mine, simply don't use hard coded file paths or catch errors – Sayse Jul 24 '13 at 15:17
you can pass in a directory through the program arguments – Sayse Jul 24 '13 at 15:18
Thanks. Hardcoding file path worked! – Daniel Camacho Jul 24 '13 at 15:22
@sayse: how can I avoid to hardcode the path? It must be created without specifying the path. it has to be created on the same path where .exe is located – Daniel Camacho Jul 24 '13 at 15:25
