    Trying to print the contents of a file to the screen but the filename being passed is taken literally. "file.txt" wont open I just keep getting the string value "file.txt" given back to me, pulling me hair out at this stage. Any suggestions?

    string filename = ("file.txt");
    string contents = File.ReadAllText(filename);

    Any help:

    string contents = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(@C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\file);

    Get that working first, then look at passing the filename as a variable.
