Specify path of a file in a Class Library, a method in that class library called from console application

I have a ClassLibrary Project which is my business layer - Demo.Business

For this class library, 

I have folder in the class library as below
                TRT
                 |
                TRT.cs
                TRTDetails.cs
                TRTFiles(Folder)
                 |
                **TRTFile.txt**

In TRT.cs class i have a method 

public void UpdateDetails()
{
   var typeSeq = from val in TRTDetails.Read**(@"TRTFile.txt")**
}

Now i have added reference of this class library "Demo.Business.dll" to my console application - "DemoProcess.exe". In the above Console Application I am calling the method "UpdateDetails()" as follows:

public void CallMethod()
{
   UpdateDetails();
}

How can I specify the path of the file "TRTFile.txt" in the method "UpdateDetails()" in class library?

I tried using System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName

(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)

Which always gives the path of executing application. i.e 

C:\\Projects\\Demo.Process\\bin\\Debug

How can i get the path as 

C:\\Projects\\Demo.Business\\TRT\\TRTFiles............

There are two ways to do this:

I. This can be done using relative path. If your's dll is also situated in Debug folder, the following path = @"..\..\..\Demo.Business\TRT\TRTFiles\" will do the work.

First ..\ will get us to C:\\Projects\\Demo.Process\\bin\\.
Second ..\ will get us to C:\\Projects\\Demo.Process\\.
Third ..\ will get us to C:\\Projects\\.

II. Or by using classes used for writing visual studio extensions (Extensibility, EnvDTE namespaces, etc.), they provide functionality to get all information about your project and it's content. But it's complicated.
