VB .NET

I need a text file to be deployed along with my project for access.

I have already done the following:

1. 'Add New Item' text file
2. This text was placed in 'Solution Explorer' as myfile.txt
3. I have modified the file as needed for access

1. How do I access it without a path? I have tried different variations of my. but can not find it.

2. Will this file automatically be deployed with all my other files considering that it is in 'Solutions Explorer'?

Thanks,
