Can someone tell me the fastes way to read a text file to a textbox or richtextbox.

It doesnt get much quicker than that Im afraid!

Au contraire... Derek mentions in this article on EliteVB that
ReadToEnd reads from the stream one character at a time, which
means it was born to be slow.

There is much better code listed in that article that shows how to
read the stream into a buffer, which should be quicker.
