Question : Referencing text file in WPF application

Hi,

I am building a C# WPF application in VS2008 where I need to use a text file. In my development machine it is placed in the root of my application. From the application I can reference it using:

string filename = @"..\..\currencies.txt";

and everything works fine.
Now, When I deploy the application the path produced by the above line translates to "C:\Program files\currencies.txt". How can I make this file reference so it works correct both in my development machine and deployed to a client machine? In the deployment project the file (currencies.txt) is placed in the Application folder and the correct path should be "C:\Program Files\RT solutions\ReceiptScan\currencies.txt".

Best regards
RTSol
