Question

Ok, here is my current code. I’m having trouble reading in the file and populating the textboxes accordingly. After loading the file (I think that is) nothing is being populated in any of the textboxes listed below. Basically I’m not sure if the file is being read or not.

Any suggestions?

        If OpenFileDialog2.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
        If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("path_to_file") Then
            Dim ioFile As New System.IO.StreamReader("path_to_file" + "filename")
            TextBox1.Text = ioFile.ReadLine() 'Adds the first line
            TextBox2.Text = ioFile.ReadLine() 'Adds the second line
            TextBox3.Text = ioFile.ReadLine() 'Adds the third line
            TextBox4.Text = ioFile.ReadLine() 'Adds the fourth line
            TextBox5.Text = ioFile.ReadLine() 'Adds the fifth line
        End If
    End If

Erm whats this

If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("path_to_file") Then
  Dim ioFile As New System.IO.StreamReader("path_to_file" + "filename")

should be

If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(OpenFileDialog2.FileName) Then
  Dim ioFile As New System.IO.StreamReader(OpenFileDialog2.FileName)
