Problem Loading Xml File asp.net mvc

Question

Heres my code:

XElement navegacion;
    public Navegacion()
    {
        this.navegacion = XElement.Load(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("App_Data/navegacion.xml"));
    }

It works just fine when I go to:

http://localhost/Default.aspx

an when I go to

http://localhost/Users

But it cant open the file when I go to

http://localhost/Users/Index

or

http://localhost/Users/Index/1

or any other id for that matter.

Navegacion class is a Model.

Is there a way to fix this?

You need to add another slash before the path to make it relative to the root, and not the current folder. That is why it works on Default.aspx, but not /Home etc, as that makes MapPath return /Home/App_Data/navegacion.xml.

HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/navegacion.xml")
