Here is a very simple piece of C# code to load a text file in a TextBox. Typical use to display a disclaimer

[Update 1: added using statement for the StreamReader]

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!Page.IsPostBack)
    {
        using (StreamReader StreamReader1 =
            new StreamReader(Server.MapPath("disclaimer.txt")))
        {
            txtDisclaimer.Text = StreamReader1.ReadToEnd();
            StreamReader1.Close();
        }
    }
}

[Update 2: use the new File.ReadAllText() wrapper for StreamReader, exact same thing, but 1 line of code instead of 3...]

The recently opened Visual Studio Gallery contains some free hidden Microsoft gems, Resource Refactoring Tool is one of them.

Going to MIX08 next week ?
