asp.net: Can i modify a xml file in the App_Data folder without VS?

Question

i have a (hopefully) simple question:

Can i modify a xml file located in the App_Data folder without Visual Studio?

I want another person who is not allowed to develop my project in Visual Studio to grant the permission to edit a xml file.

The person should use e.g. notepad++ and simply edit and save the file after opening it from windows explorer.

Is this possible?

I've recognized, that the file is read only and I need to know if the feature of the App_Data folder is working well after removing the read only attribute.

Yes you just have to set the file != read only and make sure that that user or a group he belongs to has read & write permissions to the file.
