To read a .txt, just use the TextReader class.
To read .doc files you can look up Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Word. Application (you have to have word installed).

bhatta,

Go thru the below example..Wil b quite helpful to u...

This program just demonstrate the use of FileStream & StreamReader. The program take 1 parameter from the user i.e. the file to read.

using System;
using System.IO;
class FileRead
{
string filereadbuf; // buffer to store the content of file
public void ReadFile(string FileName, int FileSize)
{
char[] buf = new char[FileSize]; // lets define an array of type char field (i.e. variable) buf
// for more help please see .net sdk
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(ne w FileStream(File Name, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read ));
int retval = sr.ReadBlock(bu f, 0, FileSize); // no. of bytes read
Console.Write ("Total Bytes Read = " + retval + "\n");
filereadbuf = new string(buf); // store it in our field
Console.WriteLi ne (filereadbuf); // lets print on screen
sr.Close();
}
}

cheers,
Sameer
