I was wondering if anyone knew of a good tutorial for parsing data from a text file and then populating the data into multiple text boxes. I have a text file with information pertaining to my form. The text file consists of key identifiers for each piece of information needed and I was wondering how to programmatically fill in my form by parsing that data.

There are plenty of examples on this site and on the web.
What, specifically, is giving you trouble?

I'm a little confused as to assigning the data behind the key identifier to the specific text/combo box

Sorry i have no idea about your problem.

You can typically use the .Text property of the combo box to populate it with content.

There are a number of ways to do what thines is saying.

Are you parseing the data in line by line or the entire file?

Are you storing the data in a single string or in an array?
