I need to import whole lines from text file into checked listbox as items.

To be accurate every line contains Name, Surname, and number values separated with spaces.
I would like to import those lines into the checked listbox as items and work with their values later (read them etc..).

Can someone help me or maybe give tip on differend "technique" how to do that?

My little try on importing which failed and do nothing:

C#
private void Setup_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string path = @"Data/text.txt";
    using (StreamReader stRead = new StreamReader(path))
    {
        while (!stRead.EndOfStream)
        {
            checkedListBox1.Items.Add(Convert.ToString(stRead.ReadLine()));
        }
}


Thanks!

What's the problem?
Who knows what exactly you need? You would need to specify it formally. How some parts of text are mapped to the items? What the checked or unchecked status of each check box should be mapped to? I guess if you give yourself answers to those questions, you will be able to solve the problem by yourself. If not, what is the issues?

Sorry for that. Updated the whole thing.

This is very easy. Look at my solution. Here I am trying to read a text file with countries listed and then add each line to the CheckedListBox.

You cannot use
C#
Items.Add()//[This is wrong]

The correct way is ,
C#
Items.Insert(<index>, <string>)</string></index>
with proper parameters.

Check my code below.

C#
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {

           int counter = 0;
           string line;

           // Read the file and display it line by line.
           System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader(@"C:\Users\srikaran\Desktop\Countries.txt");

           //Now read the file line by line
           while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
           {
               //add the line to CheckedListBox, you need to pass the parameters "index" & "string"
               ChkListBox1.Items.Insert(counter, line);

               //increase the index
               counter++;
           }

           //close the file
           file.Close();
       }


By default the items are not checked.

Try this code and let me know if you have any issues getting this output.

Good luck.

Thanks so much!! I've just had file named "text.txt" instead of just "text" and renamed and now it works!!
