Dim Fs As FileStream = New FileStream("c:\textfile.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite)
Dim sr As New StreamReader(Fs)
Dim str As String
str = sr.ReadToEnd()

'I used a rich text box to display the file in
rtbData.Text = str

dont forget:
sr.close

Dim Fs As FileStream = New FileStream("c:\textfile.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite)
Dim sr As New StreamReader(Fs)
Dim str As String
str = sr.ReadToEnd()
sr.Close()

'I used a rich text box to display the file in
rtbData.Text = str
