using the .xml files. while calling the exe from web page i am unable to display the

exe file. for this purpose i want to embed the .xml files in to a dll. Is it possible

Your question is somewhat unclear, I'll do my best.

1) Can you include an XML file in a DLL.
Yes, just like you'd include any other resource.

2) Will this make your website 'display the exe file'?
No, of course not. It's just a more convenient way of packaging it. If you can't display the output with the xml file sitting in a folder, making it a resource isn't going to change that.

3) Is there any reason I can see to create a new DLL for the sole purpose of holding said xml file?
Nope. Why not just put it in the exe that uses it?

4) "Any other way to solve this issue"?
Er, which issue? Displaying the exe files's output on the webage? or Putting the xml file into a dll or exe? or something else again?

Just add it as a RCDATA type. I assume this exe is on your server, and you are not expecting to load it at the client.

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, but maybe Bin2C is what you're looking for? http://sourceforge.net/projects/bin2c/files/[^]
