I was facing a similar issue  I had a file on my project  and wanted to test a class which had to deal with loading files from the FS and process them some way  What I did was    added the file test txt to my test project on the solution explorer hit alt-enter  file properties  there I set BuildAction to Content and Copy to Output Directory to Copy if newer  I guess Copy always would have done it as well   then on my tests I just had to Path Combine Environment CurrentDirectory   test txt   and that s it  Whenever the project is compiled it will copy the file  and all it s parent path  in case it was in  say  a folder  to the bin Debug  or whatever configuration you are using  folder   Hopes this helps someone

You would do something like this to get the path  Data ich will mp3  inside your application environments folder   string fileName    ich will mp3   string path   Path Combine Environment CurrentDirectory    Data    fileName     In my case it would return the following   C  MyProjects Music MusicApp bin Debug Data ich will mp3   I use Path Combine and Environment CurrentDirectory in my example  These are very useful and allows you to build a path based on the current location of your application  Path Combine combines two or more strings to create a location  and Environment CurrentDirectory provides you with the working directory of your application   The working directory is not necessarily the same path as where your executable is located  but in most cases it should be  unless specified otherwise
