System IO exception even though file is added in Visual studio C#

I have a project into which I added a JSON file, but when I try to read the file in code I get this error. 

Could not find file 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\IIS Express\\client_secret.json'.
"ExceptionType": "System.IO.FileNotFoundException"

I have the file added in like this.

I can access it when I copy the full path and then read it.

its Asp.NEt or WEBAPI, i.e. its Web application you can access path by using Server.MapPath method.

Example : Server.MapPath("~/script/data.txt")//this locate file in your script folder on sever

for the folder under than website you need to do like this 

Server.MapPath(~/client._secret.json) //here ~ sign means relative path from root

Server.MapPath method gives you physical path of your file on server machine.
