File Reading (C#.net)

Reading a File:
The following code shows you how to read from file, for reading a file you will have to include namespace System.IO which contains all the classes and functions.

Code

Way One:

using System.IO;

  public class DrivesInfo 

   {

       public static void Main(string[] args) 

       

       {

          TextReader tw = File.OpenText(@"d:\Osama_Stuff\Billy.txt");

          

          try

            {

               

                //Reading all file data without loop

                Console.WriteLine(tw.ReadToEnd());

            }

            catch (Exception e)

            {

                Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());

            }

            finally

            {

                tw.Close();

            }

       }

}

Way Second:

try

   {

   FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"D:\Osama_Stuff\abc1.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

      

   StreamReader sw = new StreamReader(fs);

       while (sw.ReadLine() != null)

       {

          Console.WriteLine(sw.ReadLine());          

       }

               

      //Or you can use without loop like:

       Console.WriteLine(sw.ReadToEnd());

  }

   catch (Exception ex)

  {

        Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());

  }
