To let the user select a file take a look at the FileOpenDialog. An example how to use it is provided by its MSDN topic. How to load the file into a textbox was already answered in your other thread.

Thank you Ravi, tb_Text.Text = File.ReadAllText("C:\\Test"); I got this error saying " The name 'File' doesn't exist in the current context" I like to have txtbox display all the files from C:\Test\ folder and being able to add any file onto that fold as well. -- modified at 16:51 Wednesday 7th February, 2007

You need to add a reference to the System.IO namespace.

using System.IO;
