Answer 1

You do not have permission to access the file from your C or D Drive. To do So

1. You need to copy the file to Project folder (Drag and Drop it your Project)

2. Then you can use this code to access file

Windows.Storage.StorageFile sampleFile = await storageFolder.GetFileAsync("sample.txt");

if you want to select your file randomly then I would suggest you to use FilePicker Click here
