I have to read the text content from an .txt
file, this file is located in app installed folder, in a subfolder, according to Microsoft docs, I am doing it like this:
private async void readMyFile()
{
// Get the app's installation folder.
StorageFolder appFolder = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
// Get a file from a subfolder of the current folder by providing a relative path.
string txtFileName = @"\myfolder\myfile.txt";
try
{
//here my file exists and I get file path
StorageFile txtfile = await appFolder.GetFileAsync(txtFileName);
Debug.WriteLine("ok file found: " + txtfile.Path);
//here I get the error
string text = await FileIO.ReadTextAsync(txtfile);
Debug.WriteLine("Txt is: " + text);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException ex)
{
}
}
the error is:
Exception thrown: 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' in mscorlib.ni.dll
exception file not found: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B)

Have to notice that if I use the file without subfolder everything is working fine.
