Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader sets the variable sr as a file that is read.


It declares a StreamReader reference variable. It has not been assigned a StreamReader object yet. So at first, it references "Nothing".
Files are read in streams. Think of a stream as an array of bytes, which could come from memory, the hard disk, floppy disk, etc.

Dim text As String = String.Empty sets the text variable to blank.


Yes. It creates a string variable and immediately assigns it to a string object having no characters. "Empty" is a Shared (static in C#) property which returns a predefined empty string object.

Try I assume is like a VB6 loop.


No. Keywords "Try", "Catch", and "End Try" are used together in exception handling. Any exception thrown in a Try block will get caught in the Catch block. Such as a FileNotFoundException. You should always use exception handling when working with files, because they're more likely to occur there.

The closest thing to this in VB6 is the "On Error GoTo" statement. In VB.NET, Microsoft decided to implement exception handling the same way it is done in C++, C#, and Java.

sr = System.IO.File.OpenText("c:\text.txt") reads the file.
text = sr.ReadToEnd() outputs the file into the variable


Yes. Pretty easy eh? Smile | :)
