Specific path to a text file on an ASP.NET server application

Question

I would like to set a path to my text files which are stored in TextFiles folder. Project looks like that:

This application is already hosted on a website. I've tried almost every combinations of Server.MapPath like ("~/TextFiles/UserItemReturnMail.txt"), ("./TextFiles/UserItemReturnMail.txt"), ("\\TextFiles\\UserItemReturnMail.txt"), etc. How can I get to those files, because I have no idea now.

Did you try System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath(path); — Sami, Oct 21 '16 at 00:41

Try this : Server.MapPath("."), Server.MapPath("~"), Server.MapPath(@"\"), Server.MapPath("/"). What is the difference? and How to use Server.MapPath to get location outside website folder in ASP.NET
