Solution 2

I used the following code and it worked fine for me:

textBox1.Text= System.IO.File.ReadAllText(@"C:\test.txt");

I set the Multiline property of text box to true and executed the code.
My text box showed exactly the same formatted contents as in file.

Hope this help

I personally feel that this way is good only if file is of small size. But for big size files it just hangs. In that case reading line by line seems useful.
Pleas correct me if I am wrong.

Solution 1

Add an Environment.NewLine between the read lines.

textBox.Text + = Environment.NewLine + lineJustRead;

Cheers

This is good way with conversion of text end-of-line to a current system.
