How can i access a js file in my project?

Question

I want to read "script1.js" by filestream in my console application like below. But it returns to me an error. Is there any better way to read a js file in application, by using filestream it returns to me error: FileNotFound exception.

Answer 1

As your FileReader is reading from your build destination not your project destination, it will not find the file (Look at that path it tires to read from, it is .\bin\Debug\script1.js, where your file will be at .\script1.js)

The easiest fix is to change build action for your script file in its properties, and set Copy To Output Directory = Copy Always

Answer 2

Try to set the js file's "Generate Operation" property as "Resource" in your project, it will be copy to bin/Debug folder. Or you can copy it to the folder where the exe file is.

Answer 3

It seems your "script1.js" is NOT copied to the directory "Debug".

As one solution, you could mark the script1.js in Visual Studio, then go to "Properties" and then set these:

• for "Build Action", choose "Content"
• for "Copy to Output Directory", choose "Copy always"
