I was able to get the ComboBox to load a list of files from a directory.
but, now i am trying to get the contents of that file output to a TextBox or richTextBox.
I am able to use this to output to another ComboBox(however, this is not what i need...):
//code for codebox to codeBox output
string[] files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\scripts");
comboBox2.Items.Clear();
string[] lineOfContents = File.ReadAllLines(comboBox1.Text);
foreach (var line in lineOfContents)
{
string[] tokens = line.Split(',');
comboBox2.Items.Add(tokens[0]);
//end of codebox to codebox output.
However, I can't get the entire file to go to a Textbox.
When i use <this.richTextBox1.Text = comboBox2.Text;>
it only pulls the selected line of th text from the combobox and doesnt pull all lines of the .TXT as its split into seperate lines.
Summary: I cant seem to to pull all Lines of text from the textfile listed within the combobox into a Richtextbox by using the combobox to retrieve the list of files first.
- am I making this too complicated and just missing something very simple??
I can use radio buttons to push the contents of the file to the RichTextBox.... something about loading from combobox to TextBox is not working.
Thank you in Advance!!!
