<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

<head runat="server">

    <title>.txt file in multiline textbox</title>

</head>

<body>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

    <div>

    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" BorderWidth="2"  Height="50px" Width="200" TextMode="MultiLine" style="overflow.hidden" BackColor="#FFE0C0" ForeColor="Crimson">

    </asp:TextBox>

    </div>

    </form>

</body>

</html>

 

Default.aspx.cs:

 

using System;

using System.Data;

using System.Configuration;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Security;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

using System.IO;

 

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page

{

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        StreamReader StreamReader1 = new StreamReader(Server.MapPath("puru1.txt"));

        TextBox1.Text = StreamReader1.ReadToEnd();

        StreamReader1.Close();

 

    }

}

 

Output:
