Using regular expressions and treating words containing hyphens, underscores and apostrophes as single words:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string filePath = "whatever.txt";
string text = File.ReadAllText(filePath);
string regExp = @"\b(\w|[-'])+\b";
int wordCount = Regex.Matches(text, regExp).Count;
Console.WriteLine("The number of words in the file is {0}", wordCount);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
