Hi,
am creating a web app in asp.net. How do I bring text from a file into a label and display it.

code I currently have...

Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader
Dim filename As String = "C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\StreamReader.txt"

sr = file.OpenText(filename)
Dim contents As String = sr.ReadToEnd()
lblStreamReader.Text = contents
sr.Close()

but I'm missing something. there is a problem with the line:
sr = file.OpenText(filename)

any help would be much appreciated!found the solution. so here's what I got, in case others have a similar problem/question. Its not complicated, but you just need to know what to look for I guess.


Dim Contents As String
Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader


sr = New System.IO.StreamReader("C:\Documents and Settings\StreamReader.txt")
Contents = objReader.ReadToEnd()
sr.Close()

lblStreamReader.Text = ContentsI did something like that before, but into a combo box.
I used a variable LineOfText and a loop Do until EOF(name of file), then LineOfText = LineInput(nameOfFile)

But I think it might be the same in a different way.
