how to read a file from a different project?

how to read a file from a different project?
I have a solution:
Solution1
-MyProject
-MyProject.Artifacts
----Message.XML
-MyProject.Tests
I am attempting to read the contents of Message.XML from MyProject.Tests.
How do I read the contents of Message.XML from MyProject.Tests?
Unfortunately, right now I'm doing something like this, but it's not very pretty:
var currentDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
var parentDir = Directory.GetParent(Directory.GetParent(currentDir).FullName).FullName;
var parentParentDir = Directory.GetParent(Directory.GetParent(Directory.GetParent(currentDir).FullName).FullName).FullName;
var parentParentParentDir = Directory.GetParent(Directory.GetParent(Directory.GetParent(Directory.GetParent(currentDir).FullName).FullName).FullName).FullName;

What kind of application is it? Web, Console or WPF ...? I think you can define the XML output folder yourself. Thus, you can refer to this: stackoverflow.com/questions/6041332/…

You can store a path to the file in app settings of app.config / web.config using that read the file contents.
That way if you need to deploy your software in a different way you have the flexibility

If your path is fixed, you can write the path like "c:projectssolution ... Message.xml"
If you want a relative path, the simplest way is this:
var DI = new DirectoryInfo("..\..\..\..\Your Folder\Message.XML");
This path is started from CurrentDirectory and goes four folders up and the one folder down and finds the file.
