How to read an XML file from my WCF application bin folder

I am referencing a dll in my WCF project and this dll reads a .xml file using below code. 

 var path = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location), Constants.Configuration.FileConstants.AEC_XML_FILE);

When I am deploying this WCF in IIS. It searches .xml file in below path - 

"C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Corporation\Internet Information Services\7.5.7600.16385\Calculation.xml"

It should read .xml from bin folder of WCF but it is searching .xml from above path. What could be the reason?

Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() will not give the path to your DLL (which isn't the entry point).

You can get the root folder for your Service with HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~").
