Hi, let's break down your problem-

1. You need to search files in a given directory
Directory.GetFiles Method (String, String) (System.IO)[^]
How to: Read From Text Files in Visual Basic | Microsoft Docs[^]

2. Read a text file
How to: Read From a Text File (C# Programming Guide) | Microsoft Docs[^]

3. with System.IO.File.ReadAllLines you'd be able to get the array of the lines, and populate each line in the textbox (TIP: use for loop. :) ).

Hope this helps.
