Ok, I am trying to make a program and wish to have a window that has a richTextBox in it. I want this textbox to load a text file in the program directory called "details.txt". I want it to be able to load the text file when the windows form opens and save when it is shut. If you could help with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou, in advance

These methods do work, I'll guarantee that. How anyone may know what errors ***you*** (and nobody else) made?

When inserting the code from your second link, I get the error, "Expected class, delegate, enum, interface or struct." That came from the first line, "private _void_ fileOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

Jack1848238528 9-Jun-11 3:33am

The error was the word void, thats why i put the _ _ around it. The code is normally.., "private void fileOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)"

Nvm.... found the error... its fixed
