Runtime Error
Scenario: Deploy an app to Azure. It attempts to load in a browser, but shows a “Runtime Error”.
Click to open full-size in its own tab/window.
Explanation: There is a serious error in the app. We will not be able to access any of the app’s resources.
Try this: Follow the instructions shown on the page.
Could not find a part of the path… XmlDocument.xml
Scenario: Deploy a web service to Azure, which includes the Web API Help Page feature. The app will not load in a browser, and shows a “Could not find…” error.
Click to open full-size in its own tab/window.
Explanation: Read the error message page. I do not know the cause with certainty. I see this error occasionally, but have not yet determined a pattern.
Try this: Force the “publish” process to send the file. How?
In Solution Explorer, show all files.
Click to open full-size in its own tab/window.
In the App_Data folder, right-click the XmlDocument.xml item.
Include in Project.
Next, right-click the item, and show its properties.
Set the “Copy to Output Directory” property to:
“Copy always”
Publish again. That should fix the problem.
