Importing external files into C# code

[EDN Admin]

I am trying to pull a file into my program but it says that the file doesnt exist. It does and Im pretty sure I am referring to it correctly, but am not sure. This is for my programming I class.
using System;<br/>
using System.IO;<br/>
using LibUtil;<br/>

// Begin namespace Ch5Prb2<br/>

{<br/>
const string INPUT_FILE_NAME = @"CIS110Ch5Prb2Payroll1Dat.Txt"; <------- this is the one that is said not to exist<br/>
const string OUTPUT_FILE_NAME = @"CIS110Ch5Prb2Ch5Prb2Rpt.Txt"; <--- then I want to create a new file
