Solution 2

ReadAllLines returns an array of strings. If you need the number of lines in a given file, use Length property.

The problem is That in One project it is working fine with count property.but in another its giving the error. Length property solves my problem for now. but why this that in different projects is not behaving the same. anyways will find the reason.. Thanks for your quick reply.

Count is an extension method added in .Net 3.5 framework. It is NOT a property while length is a property.
