If you do not know where to start, it is very difficult to find the stuff when googling. Then you have to go through all the results and try to figure out what to use. I could have just pointed to a page. In the future, just give them a pointer to a good article. I may have been too generious, but he will learn

Your subject is having more suitable information than your message. In fact message is garbage.

And for the task you mentioned in the subject - "Google it" before knocking here

Solution 3

I am fetching the data using

C#

StreamReader read = new StreamReader(@"//text file path");
 string line = read.ReadLine(); //it reads just one line from the file

if more than one line is present in the text file then use this

C#

string line = read.ReadToEnd();

if i want to use more than one lines from the file i am using the split function and then storing it into an array

C#

string[] datalines = line.Split(new char[] { '\n' });
