How to read from a text file into list box in VB .NET ?

Posted By: KP On June 20, 2009 Under Other, Programming Categories

If you want to read a text file in VB .Net and want to take each line of notepad file as one new item of list box.This method is useful.To read from notepad file in VB .Net we will simply use single line code.

You will need to add one listbox in your form.Add below code in which event you want to load the text file in list box.For example on form load,on button click etc.

Dim abc As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(“itemInfo.txt”)
Dim pqr As String() = abc.Split(vbNewLine)

ListBox1.Items.AddRange(pqr)

You may also interested in running loop for each item of list box,In this code for VB .Net I have used FOR loop to do a task for each item in list box.

For Each item In ListBox1.Items

    Hi Kunal, I’ve been looking for a simple way of reading data from a text file to a listbox and you seem to know the easier way to do that, but the “a” just before the split function is confusing me. What is it declared as?
