Hi If you want to use textfilethen read the data from it like below. String filename=Server.MapPath(new.txt);//here in the string we are storing the filepath StreamReader strrr; strrr=File.OpenText(filename);//here streamreader pointing the files..means stream reader is nothing but a file pointer lbltxt.Text=str;//here we are displaying the txt file data in the label. strrr.Close();.. fstring str=strrr.ReadToEnd(); ////////////////////////////////// streamreader is nothing but file pointer.and here i used the stream reader to read the data from the text file(.txt) and displaying that it is in a label. System.IO.this is the name space required to deal with the files. To read a text file we need to create the instance of the objectStreamReader The instance will be the file pointer for us. Once we have a File Pointer we need to invoke the method OpenText method of the object File. The method OpenText takes a string as an argument. The string is nothing but the path of file that is going to get created.

You can store the item in database and before loading the form fetch the item from database and load it in listview.
