Any one know how to open text file ?

Question

I have this codes in my form: private void Open_Click(object sender System.EventArgs e) { OpenFileDialog openFileDialog=new OpenFileDialog(); openFileDialog.Filter=Text(*.txt)|*.txt|Doc(*.doc)|*.doc  ; openFileDialog.ShowDialog(); } But this only reveal the open file dialog when my menu item called Open is clicked.. How do I actually make the content of the selected file goes into one of my control which is a RichTextBox.. I am just a beginner in C# migrating from Java. Thanks

You can get the file from dialog by getting Filename and you should also check that ShowDialog returns OK if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { string fileToOpen = openFileDialog.FileName; } You can also open the file by using openFileDialog.OpenFile()
