Answer 1

Hi,

You can create file in ApplicationData.LocalFolder or KnownFolders.

You cannot directly create file in other random folders because of security considerations.

Here is an example of how to read a text file that is inside your project:

 //Read a text file in the 'data' folder in the app package.
    //Outputs the contents to the console
    function getDataFromPackage(fileName) {
        var myPackage = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.current;
        var instLocation = myPackage.installedLocation;
        var path = "data\\" + fileName;
        instLocation.getFileAsync(path)
        .then(function (file) {
            return Windows.Storage.FileIO.readTextAsync(file);
        }).done(function (myText) {
            console.log(myText);
        });
    }
