Local config file, how to use?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I'm creating a webservice that needs access to a local .xml file that holds
configuration parameters. How do I go about permissioning, and actually
opening (getting directory in webservice) this file? I'm used to local apps
where opening a file is like tieing your shoes, but I cannot get my
webservice to open a file. Specifically, when putting the webservice on a
machine that is not my development machine and trying to access the service.
