relative path couldn't be opened

In the project i am working on, during run-time I need to open some file and read it

std::ifstream vSettings(".\\..\\..\\Data\\data.xml");
if (vSettings.good())
{


    //file found ,work with it

}

I never get true for the good() call above. Manually I checked that the file indeed exists relatively to the .exe.

the path to exe is \main\proj\bin\Debug-Win32.the path to file main\proj\Data.When running in the user computer the directory will be installed relatively to the .exe

I work in debug mode and path is as it looks from the "bin" directory point of view.

Any advises?

Go to the Debugging settings

enter image description here

and change the $(ProjectDir) to $(OutDir), and it should behave like you expect
