What happens when you execute this code?

As you don't have a filesystem in Silverlight I doubt it has a concept 
of current working directory - this means that you will probably need to 
track it yourself. Being able to access resources inside the xap file 
using files is just a convenience.

You can also use IsolatedStorage for filesystem like access in browser 
storage.
