Question

I have a C# project (Windows Console Application).
I have created a folder named Data inside project. There are two text files inside folder Data.

How can I read the text files from “Data” folder.
I tried below things.

string[] files = File.ReadAllLines(@"Data\Names.txt")

It is thowing error that file not found.

I have checked some Stackoverflow answers posted before and none of then are working for me.

How can I proceed? Thanks!

The code below should work:

string path = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location), @"Data\Names.txt");
string[] files = File.ReadAllLines(path);
