Not sure I understand your question.

If you mean you want to display contents of a text file in a list box,
You need to parse your file and then popuplate the list box with relevant data.

You should buy a book and read it. You should also think about how you post 'I'm using VB 2005 is not a subject. Reading a text file is perhaps a valid subject for this question.

System.IO.File will give you access to reading files. The rest of your question is pretty much nonsensical. Open it how ? To put the contents into a listbox ? Then you need to read them, File.ReadAllLines will give you a valid datasource for a listbox if you just want to show the lines in the file. Name and text of what/from what ? What are you talking about ?
