Display First Line Of Text Only In Label?

Question

I have a text file located in my debug folder that I wish to display in a label. My problem is not displaying the entire text file but to only display the first line in my label. I have read a bit about how to do this but it includes a click button event which I dont desire. I would like it to read when the program loads (in the load event). Is this possible and will I need to create a private sub?

Solution 1

When you read the file, you can read the first line, break out of the loop and then assign this text to the text box.

Is this what you are looking for or am I missing something?

I do not wish to open the file to read it or read the first line of text in the file. I want to know if its possible to display the name of a specific file in a textbox or label?

thank you in advance....
