Since your file in _layouts directory, why not to use GetGenericSetupPath method? Something like this:

var path = SPUtility.GetGenericSetupPath(@"TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\MyPoject\data.xml");

UPD:

For SharePoint 2013 thisThis method is obsolete in SharePoint 2013, and you should use GetCurrentGenericSetupPath or GetVersionedGenericSetupPath

Thanks for noticing that fact in comments.
