I want to read the first line of a text file that I added to the root directory of my project. Meaning, my solution explorer is showing the .txt file along side my .cs files in my project.
So, I tried to do:
TextReader tr = new StreamReader(@"myfile.txt"); string myText = tr.ReadLine(); But this doesn't work since it's referring to the Bin Folder and my file isn't in there... How can I make this work? :/
Thanks

Create New Project: Choose Project Directory The project root is the folder which is the parent for all the project sources. By default, all subfolders in this folder are treated as sources and their files are involved in indexing, searching, parsing, code completion, and so on.
To extract filename from the file, we use “GetFileName()” method of “Path” class. This method is used to get the file name and extension of the specified path string. The returned value is null if the file path is null. Syntax: public static string GetFileName (string path);
From Solution Explorer, right click on myfile.txt and choose "Properties"
From there, set the Build Action to content and Copy to Output Directory to either Copy always or Copy if newer

You can use the following to get the root directory of a website project:
String FilePath; FilePath = Server.MapPath("/MyWebSite"); Or you can get the base directory like so:
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
