Open and Read a File
Write the code for readfile as shown below. For now, you can call this from mnuOpen..
private void readfile()
{
// Set the filter to show text files or all files.
openFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files|*.txt|All Files|*.*";
openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (openFileDialog1.FileName != "")
{
currentFileName = openFileDialog1.FileName;
this.Text = currentFileName;
// Read the entire file into an array.
string[] lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(openFileDialog1.FileName);
// Add each line to the list box.
foreach (string line in lines)
{
lstData.Items.Add(line);
}
// The file has just been read, so there are no changes yet.
changed = false;
}
}
To Do: Call readfile from mnuOpen. Make sure this works before proceeding.
