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
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
