title: My UWP app won't read a txt file
body: <p>I was wondering if anyone would know how to get an Universal Windows app to read a txt file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>StreamReader lezer = new StreamReader(@"C:\Users\LotteDiesveld\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\Jaar 1\Periode 2\OIS 12\Eindopdracht\Personen.txt");
  tbPersonen.Items.Add(lezer.ReadToEnd());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've also tried this</p>
  
  <pre><code>StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync("ms-appx:///reserveringen.txt")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know multiple answers have been given on this subject, but none work, because I keep getting an error. This error is either "Cannot convert type string to type uri" or "cannnot convert type string to type stream".</p>
