How to open a text file regarding my MVC project?

Question

In my bin file, I installed som test data, and I want my application to have access to the log files that are stored in bin/log/log00001.txt .

However, in my crontroller, when I try to use TextReader in the following path, it goes somewhere else: new StreamReader("log/log00001.txt")

How to read material in relation to my project?

Try using

 StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(Server.MapPath("~/bin/log/log00001.txt"));
