Thread: Read a text file

Hi. I am last year PC science student. I am learning ASP.net programming language. I am writing one code for read text file in asp.net but it will not work. I also tried unlike code but none of them worked out. If you have any in sequence please let me know that. Thanks in advanced.

Refer following program to Read a text file in ASP .NET.We have a textbox with textmode set to MultiLine and a button. On the click event of the button, we require to read the text file. The code within the Click event is shown below.

Code:

Sub WriteToFile(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

        Dim fp As StreamReader

        Try
            fp = File.OpenText(Server.MapPath(".Upload") & "test.txt")
            txtMyFile.Text = fp.ReadToEnd()
            lblStatus.Text = "File Succesfully Read!"
            fp.Close()
        Catch err As Exception
            lblStatus.Text = "File Read Failed. Reason is as follows 

" & err.ToString()
        Finally

        End Try

    End Sub
