I'm looking for some help with an issue I am having. I have multiple text files in a folder. The folder can have an "unlimited" amount of text files in it, although typically 2-150 files.

http://gyazo.com/5f314d1ca374abf9f813914609dd931d (images for this + below)

Each file then contains an "unlimited" (although typically 0-20 lines) amount of data inside it. Line 1 being the "test number" and line 2 being the "test result" - as seen in the image above

My Data Grid View has 3 columns in it [Username, Test Number and Test Result] named (Column_Username, Column_TestNumber, Column_TestResult) - as seen in the image above

When running the current code that I have, there is the correct amount of grids in the data grid view, although all of the cells are empty. http://gyazo.com/e08f9f2f4ab3971695feffe60503e8a9 (image of this)

One thing I don't want to do is change any of my text file/ folder structures, even though I'm aware that it is currently inefficient storage. Although I'm more than happy to use something instead of the lists function if you think there is a better way.

How can I fix this? I'm using VB.Net (visual studios 2013)

If you need any more information, please just ask.

Many thanks.

Anyone able to help?
