Firstly

use Path.Combine(String, String)

Combines two strings into a path.

Example

var myDocs = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);

var dir = Path.Combine(myDocs,"Test");
var fileName =Path.Combine(dir, textBox1.Text); 

Debug.WriteLine(fileName);

doc.Load(fileName)

Secondly

look at the documentation

XmlDocument.Load Method

UnauthorizedAccessException filename specified a file that is read-only.

Double check your path it doesn't look like a filename. If it is a file without an extension (and it does exist), make sure its not read-only

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access denied to path

'C:\Users\x\Documents\Test\Hello'.

If you correct that you'll probably win
