Question

I am reading a file using File.ReadAllText(“filename.txt”). This file is located in very same folder where the .exe file is located (c:/program files/installation folder). But windows app looks into System32 folder for this file by default.

**I don’t want to hard code the path of the file.

Answer 1

Try this function:

using System.Reflection;

private string MyDirectory()
    {
        return Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
    }

Then use

File.ReadAllText(MyDirectory() + @"\filename.txt");
