Reading file content to string in .Net Compact Framework
I am developing an application for mobile devices with the .net compact framework 2.0. I am trying to load a file's content to a string object, but somehow I can't get it done. There is no ReadToEnd()
method in the System.IO.StreamReader
class. Is there another class that provides this functionality?
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt"))
{
String line;
// Read and display lines from the file until the end of
// the file is reached.
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
sb.AppendLine(line);
}
}
string allines = sb.ToString();
string text = string.Empty;
using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(filePath, Encoding.UTF8))
{
text = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
Another option:
string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines("file.txt");

Simple!
File.ReadAllText(file)
what you're looking for?
There's also File.ReadAllLines(file)
if you prefer it broken down in to an array by line.
