No, because you have not asked a question, described any kind of a problem or defined what kind of help you need.

What should be displayed in the textbox?
Is it the selected filename of the listbox or did you mean the content of the file that should get shown in that textbox.
The former is easy, but the latter can cause you some headaches if the selected file isn't a text file.

Regards,
Manfred

The selected filename of the listbox should come in the textbox .

It's a simple matter to get the filename from the selected item, open the file, read its contents and display them in the textbox. Reading the documentation for the different components will be a good way to start.

Solution 1

The Richtextbox control can be used to load and display normal text files without any formatting. It will not include any pictures , bullets etc..
Files like .txt, .doc can be used.

If there are picture files like jpeg, bmp, then the image or picture control can be used
