• If your application compiles in "C:\Prorects\MyApp\bin\debug" and the theme file is located in "MyApp\Resources" folder, the relative path would be: "..\..\Resources\MyThemeFileName.xml"

In Q2 2007 this will work in the designer as well.


However, I do not believe this to be true - because when I change the path name to a relative path, it is using the Visual Studio IDE launch directory as the base directory, not the directory of the application files.

Can you confirm this?

I am using Q32007 SP1.
