How can I read .txt file in my project root?

I have a project in MVC and I want to read a .txt file in the project root.

Because I will send this solution to my partner and he will just click run. I have tried to use Combine code but I have an error like "path does not exist".

var path = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), @"\CustomerFile-2015-07-30T1510.txt");
System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader(path);

Since it is an ASP.NET MVC project, I would suggest to use Server.MapPath("~") to get the root of your ASP.NET Application.

var root = Server.MapPath("~");
var path = Path.Combine(root, @"CustomerFile-2015-07-30T1510.txt");
System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader(path);
