Open the file and read it.

MIDL

using(StreamReader stream = new StreamReader("filename"))
{
    string line = null;
    while( (line = stream.ReadLine()) != null)
    {

    }
}

string fileText = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("filename")

But ini files are a different matter. Unless you are accessing settings in a legacy app, DON'T USE INI files, instead use your web.config file.
