Read local .txt file on app startup

Howdy,

I need a feature/a way to achieve this, that is, when the app loads, aka, when someone open’s it on the browser, read the .txt file that is in bin/

How could i achieve this?
It’s the same behavior i have in windows apps, that in the sub main(), i just do this below.
What i need is to read this file that is a XML, that has server information.

Thanks in advanced,

Dim ds As New DataSet
ds.ReadXml(“server.xml”)
server_host = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0)(“host”)
server_port = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0)(“port”)
ds.Dispose()
ds = Nothing
