    Reading a Rich Text File

    I have the following code that is successfully opening my *.rtf file:

    If File.Exists(Fil ePath) Then
    Try
    Dim MyFileStream As New FileStream(File Path,
    FileMode.Open)
    RichTextBox1.Lo adFile(MyFileSt ream,
    RichTextBoxStre amType.PlainTex t)
    MyFileStream.Cl ose()
    Catch ex As Exception
    MessageBox.Show (ex.Message)
    End Try
    Else
    MsgBox("I'm afraid I could not find your instructions
    file.")
    Me.Close()
    End If

    Problem is, it's showing all sorts of giberish along with the text. I
    thought a RichTextBox would display the file as if I was opening it in
    Wordpad or some other Rich Text File viewer.

    What am I missing here?

    Thanks.
    -Dan

      Suggestion:

      Replace RichTextBoxStre amType.PlainTex t with
      RichTextBoxStre amType.RichText

          Thanks, Karel!

          Works like a charm ;-)

          I really appreciate the help.
