Is there any way to emulate file access to/from a file
that exists on the PC? I need to debug a little parser
that reads text from a file that is normally transferred
via ActiveSync. The emulator environment does not seem to
access PC disk files, implementing file streams within
itself i.e. if I create a file, I can access it. But
external/preexisting files seem to be a problem.
 
You can copy files to the device by adding them to your project with the
"Build Action" property set to "Content" this will copy them to your
application directory on the emulator, you can move them around manually
using the File Explorer application on the emulator.

You could also use Alex Feinman's EmuCopy tool:-
