File in project I/O at runtime

If I have a file, like a .txt file (not a Resource or Content file) in my project that I want to read/write to at runtime, in a debugging session from Visual Studio, what's the simplest way to do that?

Visual Studio has to hold references to these files' locations in order to load them, right? I want to do the same thing.

I'm planning to have hundreds of these files and don't want to set everything to "Content" and "Copy if Newer" in Visual Studio.

Put all your text files under a folder and read them with following code -

using System.IO;

foreach (string file in Directory.EnumerateFiles(folderPath, "*.txt"))
{
    string contents = File.ReadAllText(file);
}
  • .Net Framework 4.0 - EnumerateFiles
  • .Net Framework Previous versions - GetFiles
