Question

I want to ship a text file along with my App and read it while executing my application. How can I read that particular file? I have set the file to content and copy if newer.

Answer 1

private async void ProjectFile()
{
    var _Path = @"Metro.Helpers.Tests\MyFolder\MyFolder.txt";
    var _Folder = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;

    var _File = await _Folder.GetFileAsync(_Path);
    var _ReadThis = await Windows.Storage.FileIO.ReadTextAsync(_File);
}

Code to read project file which works for me. Hope it helps others too 🙂
