How to point to a file stored in project folder? WPF

At the moment I'm pointing to a file on my machine, but I'm wondering how I would point the string to a folder I created within the project. For example the path to the folder in visual studio is, 

C:\Users\Drian Darley\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\KinectBVversion1\KinectKickboxingBVversion1\Gesture\jabtwo.xml

I have heard of pack URI's, would that suit in this situation or how would I set one up?

This is how it is pointing to the file at present, which is not ideal as it has to point to a file stored locally on the machine.

private string gesturefile =
            Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + "\\GesturePak\\wave.xml";
Solution

  • Try like this

    string gesturefile= Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, @"GesturePak\wave.xml");

    or

    Use Path.GetFullPath
