Raj,
I think the problem is little different and simple. With Impersonation set
to True, you (impersonated account) must have the read access to the xml
file on the IIS server or whereever your xml file is located. To identify
this behavior you can grant yourself read permission to the folder where the
xml file is located but don't grant permission to others. Now only your
should be able to see the user control. If that's the case, you can grant
folder permission to everyone (if that's does not cause harm).
Note: If you don't impersonate make sure the ASPNET account has read access
to the xml file folder.
Hope this help.
