Hi try this //Open a file for reading string FILENAME = Server.MapPath( Rand.txt ); //Get a StreamReader class that can be used to read the file StreamReader objStreamReader = default (StreamReader); objStreamReader = File.OpenText(FILENAME); //Now read the entire file into a string string contents = objStreamReader.ReadToEnd(); //Set the text of the file to a Web control lblRawOutput.Text = contents; //We may wish to replace carraige returns with s lblNicerOutput.Text = contents.Replace(Constants.vbCrLf   ); objStreamReader.Close();
