Hi Guys, I created a program that generate random numbers and then I stored the generated number in a textfile. I want to retrieves the value stored in the textfile and display the largest and smallest value.
Can anyone help me out?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string[] alllines = File.ReadAllLines("number.txt");
            


            int maxx = 0;

            int maxy = 0;





            foreach (string line in alllines)
            {

                string [] oneline = line.Split(' ');

                if (Convert.ToInt16(oneline[0]) > maxx)
                {

                    maxx = Convert.ToInt16(oneline[0]);

                }

                if (Convert.ToInt16(oneline[1]) > maxy)
                {

                    maxy = Convert.ToInt16(oneline[1]);

                }

            }



            textBox1.Text = maxx.ToString();

            textBox2.Text = maxy.ToString();

         }

        }
    }

Here is how my generated number looks like inside the textfile:

68	16	89	96	89
92	76	13	16	68
62	7	33	76	31

I just tried for the first 2 lines but I am stuck. I have no clue what should I do.

Have a look at,

List<int> nums = new List<int>();
     int va;
     foreach (string line in alllines)
            {
           foreach (string no in line.Split(new string[] { " " }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries))
                {
                    int.TryParse(no, out va);
                    nums.Add(va);
                }
                     
            }
     Console.WriteLine(nums.Max() + " " + nums.Min());
