Here I am going to write a simple program to read a text file line by line. We will use the ReadLine method of the StreamReader class.

C# Program to read text file line by line:

This program reads the content of the text file into a string variable using the ReadLine method of StreamReader class.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ReadFile
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int iCounter = 0;
string line;

// Read the file and display it line by line. 
System.IO.StreamReader objFile =
new System.IO.StreamReader(@"E:\SampleFile.txt");
while ((line = objFile.ReadLine()) != null)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(line);
iCounter++;
}

objFile.Close();
System.Console.WriteLine("Total Line Read {0}", iCounter);
System.Console.ReadLine(); 
}
}
}

read text file
