You can append the string using the += operator:

code_file += "\\Game_Progress.xml";

Note: If you want to combine a path, you should consider using the Path Combine method:

System.IO.Path.Combine(code_file, "\\Game_Progress.xml")

C# can require an @prior to the string when using backslashes. Try:

code_file.Insert(code_file.Length, @"\\Game_Progress.xml");

`\\` is escaped in the question... – Eser Apr 10 '16 at 19:32
Oh I've never seen that method, always just used @. Well, you learn something new. – Ed Jones Apr 10 '16 at 19:36
