Reading and writing files from textbox to file and vice versa

a.
You can use the System.IO.File object to read the file into a text box.

System.IO.File.WriteAllText(path to file as a string, TextBox1.Text)

b. You can use the StreamReader object get all of the file's information and then enter into textbox


Dim oRead As System.IO.StreamReader
oRead = System.IO.File.OpenText(path to file as string)
TextBox1.Text = oRead.ReadToEnd()

how did it help in 2008? i thought it doesnt work in vb9,

in case it gives u any problems, u can also use the following:

my.computer.filesystem.writealltext(filename, textbox1.text, false)

and for loading the same text:

my.computer.filesystem.readalltext(filename)

it's shorter and cleaner but don't use this with a richtextbox control if it has any images... .
