How can you view and display your text file to your C# windows application?

Question

How can you view and display your text file to your C# windows application?

Help! I'm kinda confused on doing this program.

You have a .txt file (from Notepad) that has the following input in the first line:

1234567#JohnEdwards#Ohio

1233456#Walter#NewYork

wherein,

the 1st - ID, 2nd - Name, 3rd - Location

How can you able to view and display these outputs using the C# application, in such a way that '1234567','John Edwards' and 'Ohio' are different inputs, wherein, they are all displayed separately in a label/text button?

It has something to do with delimiters? What codes should I use?

Thanks for your help...

If you've read a line of text into a string variable then you can split it up and display it as follows: string line = 1234567#JohnEdwards#Ohio; string[] items = line.Split('#'); label1.Text = items[0]; label2.Text = items[1]; label3.Text = items[2];
