title: What is the best way to read in a text file from the server in asp.net-mvc
body: <p>In one of my controller actions I need to read in a text file that has a bunch of reference data in it. Right now I simply put it in the "/Content" directory.</p>
  
  <p>My questions are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is this the "right" place to put this file or should I put it in another directory?</li>
  <li>What is the best way to read in a text file in asp.net-mvc that is sitting on the server?  </li>
  </ol>
