Add a Resource File to your project (Right Click Project->Properties->Resources). Where it says "strings", you can switch to be "files". Choose "Add Resource" and select your file.
You can now reference your file through the Properties.Resources collection.
Well, now you have something like "C:\Users\myuser\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\myProjectNamespace", so just attach the final path to your fileName, for example:
_filePath += @"\myfile.txt";
TextReader tr = new StreamReader(_filePath);
