What does accessing a file have to do with database connection? Both are different ways to store data. Using databases you can store data in a much structured manner and it has much more flexibility in accessing them. Text files should be used only when you have a very simple data to store.

My answer is based on the assumption that you have a text file from which you want to read and display the contents.

Few sample for same are available here.

If you not intrested in haveing datasource my suggestion is to us XML as it will be much easier to extract data and its easier to manage questions and answers.

if you just want to read file text. then try following line

include
using System.IO;

C#

string sFileText = File.ReadAllText("your file path here");

sFileText contain all text of your give path text file, you can perform your task using sFileText
