The emulator does not have access to the PC file system. You must deploy the file to the target (emulator). The easiest way to do this is mark the file as an embedded Resource. Set the file's Build Action to 'Resource' and then extract it at runtime with code something like this:

var res = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri([nameOfYourFile], UriKind.Relative))
