usage of Microsoft.VisualBasic.MyServices

[arvind]

hi all,

when trying to execute a code for reading from a text file in VB, using the ReadAllText function, i get 'variable not defined' error.

the following is the code:
Private Sub Command2_Click()
Dim fileReader As String
fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:\test.txt")
MsgBox (fileReader)
End Sub

kindly enlighten me on why i get the error and what should be done to clear it.

Private Sub Command2_Click()
        Dim fileReader As String
        fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:\test.txt")
        MsgBox (fileReader)
End Sub

end quote.

What exactly do you want to the Test.txt?

Wait, are you sure this is VB4/5/6? I thaught the MY namespace only came in in .NET ????
