Solution 1

connect to a certain file i have uploaded onto a site called website.org

Do you mean your app will download the text from a webservice, or it's a web page you're writing ? I think you want to use a webservice to access the text if you're showing it in windows.

You can use the WebRequest class to download the file, then you can parse it as you would any other string.

You could start by going to the link I gave in my last answer, which shows examples. Or you could try searching Code Project articles or Google. Also, PLZ dn't typ lyk ths. Once you try things out, if you have any further questions, please create a new question to address those specific questions. But don't ask them until you've actually made an effort to do this yourself.
