If the files that will be read are not extra large files and are delimited by CRLF, you can use the ReadAllText method to read the entire file into a string and Strings.Split to create an array of Type String where each element of the array is a row of the file.

Dim arrFileContents() As String = Strings.Split( _
     My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText( _
     "C:\bat\RestoreSQL.log"), vbCrLf)

Dim intMaxIndex as Integer = arrFileContents.GetUpperBound(0) ' The highest index of the array
Dim intFileRows as Integer = arrFileContents.GetUpperBound(0) + 1 ' The number of rows in the file
