displaying files

[webster972]

How do I display current text files in a textbox after I "load" them. For example, I load file1, display it in a text box..and then I load file 2....I wanna somehow get a textbox thatll display "file1.txt" and "file2.txt" and so on..I would appreciate any help, thanks!

You want to display both text files in one textbox at the same time?

To get the text from a file into a textbox, you just ReadToEnd.
Dim SR As StreamReader = New StreamReader(filename)
SR looks at the file.
TB.Text = SR.ReadToEnd()
Puts everything in the file into the textbox.
SR.Close()
Close the SR.

Just the text file names..not the content, only the current file content that I have open.

I dont understand... you just want "file1.txt" and "file2.txt" to appear in a textbox?

Why do you need to load the files themselves? Check out the OpenFileDialog control and the RichTextBox control
