How do I link a specific file in c#?

I have a program that can edit a certain text file. Currently, I am only running it in Visual Studios. When I am referring to the text file, the file path looks something like this:

@"C:\myProjectFolder\someTextFile.txt"

For now, I can use this path and it works flawlessly, but after I deploy it, the program would only work on my computer because this path is specific to my computer.

In HTML for example, if I was linking a CSS file, it would be possible to do \stylesheets\style.css instead of C:\myWebsite\stylesheets\style.css

How can I achieve something similar in C#

Use System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath and Application.executablePathfor getting current application path.
if file is in current directory of .Exe file full path is not required and just name of file is enough. you also can point to current path in some situations by ".\\"
